Sales tax can be tricky. The numbers and rates change based on where you are, what you sell, and where you ship. Staying on top of the ever-changing tax laws is a job in itself. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our new automatic sales tax experience in QuickBooks® Online.

How QuickBooks Calculates Sales Tax
It might seem like magic, but there are a variety of factors that go into calculating your tax rate. We use info from each sale to calculate what you need to charge, including:
- Where you’re registered to collect sales tax
- Your physical business address
- The physical address on the sales receipt or invoice
