Sales Tax Collection
Lockhouse.com is located in Texas.
In accordance with Texas state law, we are required
to collect sales tax for orders shipped to a Texas
address. Sales tax is applied to the total amount of
the order, before shipping charges. The shopping
cart automatically calculates and adds sales tax to
these orders after you select your shipping address
and the State = Texas.
Everywhere else - we don't collect sales tax.
Effect of the
Internet Tax Freedom Act
Companies selling over the Internet
are subject to the same sales tax collection
requirements as any other retailers. Remote sellers
(including Internet retailers and catalog companies)
are required to collect applicable taxes on orders
shipped to states where they have a physical selling
presence. If they do not have any such presence,
they are not required to collect sales taxes.
The Internet Tax
Freedom Act (ITFA), which was signed into law on
October 21, 1998, was primarily intended to prevent
state and local governments from imposing new or
discriminatory taxes on Internet transactions and on
Internet access. Despite the name of the Act, ITFA
does not preclude state and local governments from
imposing existing sales tax collection requirements
on companies selling over the Internet.
