There are usually a couple of exceptions…for necessary products like food or medicine.…But these vary state by state and country by country.…And sometimes they have criteria that you need…to meet as a vendor.…If you don't know if you have to pay taxes on something,…assume you do.…You can always hire a tax professional to know for sure,…but a safe debt is to assume you have to collect…and submit sales tax.…The biggest and maybe the most confusing area…
