Does CW online have a sales tax for everyone in any state?I buy a lot of items online to save from having to pay our states sales tax, but buying from CW tax is added still which makes the prices whether on sale or not more expensive than other on line vendors.I'm also surprised if I go to the store and they don't have something I need that I have to pay to have it shipped to the store?If I go to Walmart or Lowes and need something that they sell but don't have in the store, it will be delivered to the store for free or to my house if I choose to pay.I'm not understanding why CW isn't the same way.Yes, I'm very new to RV's. I still learning how the RV world works.

I always wonder about the morality of people who intentionally avoid paying the taxes dues in their jurisdiction. Do they also religiously not use the services those taxes pay for? One example is the roads people drive their RVs over.I think it is fair and reasonable to pay for the services that are provided. To do otherwise is not honest or moral or....

Tax evasion or looking for a tax break? Most states are closing this loop as each legislative session closes. Amazon and others have so increased the mail order on line shopping that states are missing out on millions of tax dollars. So, in the future it won't much matter to the OP becuase they will charge the tax rate in the state the customer is ordering from or the rate the distribution center is located.

There must be a CW somewhere in your state.

If the business has a presence in California they must collect CA sales tax. They may not even have a store in CA, they may just have an office, a receiving dock, or some other activity within the State. The definition is very broad, and defending ones company against sales tax evasion can be very expensive.
