- Taxable only at the State and Metro Transit Special Taxing Jurisdiction Rates, still exempt on City tax.
- Now it’s all fully taxable which includes the City sales tax rate as the transaction goes over the $110 threshold rule for New York City.
- Digital downloadable Non-taxable
- If you buy the physical media at a store - Taxable
- What if you buy both the downloadable version and physical media - Taxable
- High Cost/Low Risk – You hire outside firms. They charge you a fortune to be in compliance. Because of the costs, you limit what you do and never really have that full solution.Low Cost / High Risk – You generally do the minimum amount, or nothing at all, and hope that you get by and never run into an audit. High Risk / High Cost – This is where many businesses are today. They hire people with no experience at all in dealing with sales tax and assume that they can do the job for them.Avalara – Low Cost, Low Risk. Free up resources to work on things that are more valuable.
