DID YOU KNOW!
💸 Sales Tax Isn’t Your Money — You’re Just Holding It!
Sales tax is neither income nor an expense. You collect it on behalf of the state, and you’re responsible for sending it in — monthly or quarterly, depending on your state’s rules.
Where it gets tricky? Every state has different sales tax laws! 😅 What’s taxable, how much to charge, and where your customer lives all come into play.
Pro tips to stay on track:
✅ Register your business with your state and get a sales tax account number
✅ Use it in your payment processor to calculate sales tax correctly
✅ Open a separate bank account just for sales tax — that way, you’re not tempted to spend it
✅ Set aside money regularly (or even automate it!) so you’re never caught off guard
💡 Don’t go it alone — work with a pro like a bookkeeper or use smart software to help you avoid overpaying, penalties, or late fees.
