Sales tax from buying a laptop from bestbuy online?

I'm considering buying a specific laptop online, since it's the only option available.
I went ahead with a payment procesws just to see how much it would cost after taxes (though I did not actually pay), and to my surprise, there were no taxes at all!
Is this even possible? I was using Paypal.
My father has told me that there are sales taxes on laptops so that I should be prepared. 
But online, it said there weren't any, and that my total was just what I purchased?

nenepapili,
Due to complicated tax codes existing at state, county and local levels, there are times when the tax is calculated only once the product has shipped. While this is not usually the case, it can result in more or less tax being charged.
I'd recommend checking out what your sales tax is in your area and plan on that amount being charged.

    The amount of Tax Payable varies and is dependant on your location...
    You will need to investigate that yourself...

    Hello ryane84
    The easiest and most efficient way to copy your music is to follow the steps under the External drive section. Make sure that you have organized the iTunes library first before you copy it over. Then put the copied iTunes folder in the same Music folder on your computer.

  • Need to change sales tax from point of sale to point of delivery

    Hi all,
    Recently the tax laws were changed such that sales tax is to be collected based on where the product will be delivered to (rather then where the product was sold from).
    Briefly we are an agency with mulitiple divisions, and within those divisions several sales offices.  Previously, a sales would be made from the sales office, and based on the tax rate for that division and sales office (county/city) the sales tax would be calculated.
    Now we need to shift that so that a sales can still be made from a division/sales office, but the collected tax is based on where the product will be delivered to. 
    I'm sure there is a way to set this up, but I'm at a loss as to where to start. 
    One of teh options the customer suggested was to have a sales area set up with all the cities and tax codes in it.  Then assign that sales area to each of the sales offices.  Is this possible? Or do you have to have a separate sales area for each sales office?
    I'm open to any suggestions you may have as I'm not very familiar with this side of SAP (sales distription and taxes).
    Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
    Laurie

    Thanks Bill.  As it turns out, we are in the US where jurisdiction is an option I guess so this procedure may not be needed.  As I dig further it appears we are currently setup to use TAXUS procedure which utilizes tax codes - a limited number.  But since the recent change, we may need to switch to TAXUSJ. 
    Does this ring a bell for anyone?  If it is what we need to do, what need I be aware of that will change in the rest of the system?
    Thanks for your answers so far!

  • I buy lock iphone from bestbuy last 6 months ago. so i still can't unlock it yet.

    i buy lock iphone from bestbuy last 6 months ago.i can't used it right now.because it still can't unlock, it yet. i saw from official apple  web sit (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC603LL/A?afid=p219|GOUS&cid=AOS-US-KWG) is now selling unlock iphone4. that is why i asking the request to get my phone to unlock. when i buy from bestbuy i have to pay full amount of money.and is without contract. but I have to pay full amount of money. so at least your apple service must do for unlock to iphone4.         

    First, you're not talking to Apple here -- we're users just like you who try to help others, Apple employees rarely participate.
    If you bought an iPhone from Best Buy 6 months ago it was locked to a particular carrier.  You cannot unlock such a phone -- the only way to get an unlocked iPhone is to buy an officially unlocked one, but that's not what you have.

  • Hi i did not buy any songs from itune and i got a bill for 29.99 plus tax .how can i get my refun back

    hi i did not buy any thing from itune and i got a bill for 29;99 plus tax.how can i get my refun back.

    Did you buy anything from the App Store? All of those stores are connected to the iTunes Store so that's probably why you got something that said iTunes on it.
    If you bought an app, for example, that was $30 you'll probably see "iTunes Store" on the receipt.

  • HT5557 Why is British Columbia sales tax being charged on iBooks when BC's own documentation says that electronic books are exempt from sales tax?

    I recently bought a book on iBooks and on the invoice realized that provincial sales tax (pst) was charge. As I knew books were pst exempt, I went to look at the government's website to see if they mention electronic books. I found the aptly named "What's taxable and what's not" (http://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/topic/BED47DA4EBDBA60A5F28622B8B2E1451/uploads/ whats_taxable_whats_not.pdf) and started looking. On the first page, it distinctly says electronic books are exempt.
    So, my question is - why are we getting charged tax when our government says that electronic books are tax exempt?

    no, that's not a reason you would use a class file.
    anyway, your document class variables are defined on the main timeline so to reference them from any timeline you can use:
    MovieClip(root).w36;  // for example  (but it's really undesirable to have coding in more than one timeline)

  • USA Sales Tax defaulting from Location other than Ship To Site

    We have a requirement to default USA Sales Tax Rates in Order / Invoice based on Location say 'Loc1' different from Ship to Location say 'Loc2'. The location 'Loc1' is captured in Order Line DFF. We have only two types of tax codes defined for USA.
    1) Sales Tax - this is Location Based Tax (combination of State, County and City)
    2) Exempt - this is Non Taxable
    Questions:
    1) Is there a way to default Tax Code and Tax Rate based on 'Loc1' without any customizations?
    2) Just in case we customize the Tax Code defaulting to default based on location 'Loc1', is there a way to default & calculate Tax Rate corresponding to location 'Loc1'?
    3) What are the API/s to calculate Tax Rates with Location as input?
    4) What are the ways so that Tax Code & Tax Rate forcefully assigned at Order Line does not alter at Autoinvoice Interface and then Invoice?
    -Amrut

    Yes, It is happening for all suppliers. but not for all locations.
    I am able to book the order by selecting the other location.
    I have checked the location defied in oracle inventory and it looks ok.

  • Buy laptop from USA using in Europe

    Hi,
    Please advice me - I would like to buy a laptop Toshiba U400 from Toshibadirect site and ship it to an address in USA. But I will use the laptop in Europe (Bulgaria). May I have any problems?
    Thank you very much.
    Gergana

    I would like to use my iPhone while in Europe for free wifi and ipod music only. I have an unlocked GSM phone that I use with a Lebara SIM for very cheap calls back to the USA.
    The best suggestions that I read came from the locked message below:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1029360
    and this message.
    In summary:
    1. Select a PIN code for the iPhone SIM card (detailed instructions are in the message above). This will prevent the iPhone SIM card from registering with any other networks.
    2. Remove the SIM card from the iPhone (it can then be placed into another unlocked phone and used at AT&T's much higher rates for voice only). This isn't necessary for me, as I already have the other phone (4.5 cents/minute calls to USA since they are giving double top-off credit).
    Here's the really confusing part for me, however: I called AT&T to verify that removing the iPhone SIM card (or not entering the PIN code) would prevent any international charges from appearing on my account.
    The representative told me that even with the SIM card removed, it's STILL possible to be charged when using wifi, since the wifi connection may be routed through other carriers. These charges could also take up to 2 months before appearing on my bill.
    This is contrary to everything else I have read about how the iPhone works with the SIM card removed, however. Does anyone have any information on this?
    Aso, if you have gone to Europe with your iPhone, did not call ahead to enable an international plan, removed your SIM card (or locked it and didn't enter a PIN), and used it only for wifi and music, were you charged anything for international usage? If this worked for one person, then I would think the solution would apply for everyone (iPhone 3G, sw version 2.2 here). Thanks!
