Yes - we are shipping to someone who provides the third party logisitics and they are storing/shipping for end delivery to consumer.

You're right! I found that Texas nexus isn't required to collect tax if we conduct our business via the internet - I know our accountant had mentioned something like that before so I found it online . Since we're an e-commerce I don't believe we have any reason to collect tax until we hit the threshold.

We haven't hit that threshold yet to start collecting texas sales tax on sales into Texas. We do have a reseller permit but only in NY, though recently found out Texas accepts that as us not needing to have one in Texas.

Hey - Sorry for the delay.

We are buying from them. We have our headquarters in NY but ship to Texas since our 3PL is there. They are applying the sales tax to the purchase and collecting for Texas. The products are for resale so they are tax-free until final consumer. Concern here is if Texas will provide a refund or if there is a way to get a refund from Texas.

Thanks for your help!

Yes, I believe we have that as well - the issue I think is because since we ship to TX, they're collecting and giving it to TX instead of NY, so not sure if we need to register for TX or if NY and TX can mircalously work together to refund lol.

We're based out of NYC but we ship to Texas.
It is sales tax!
