- Sales tax sourcing depends on whether a state is origin-based or destination-based: in origin-based states, sellers charge tax based on the seller’s location; in destination-based states, tax is based on the buyer’s location.
- Origin-based states listed are Arizona, California, Illinois, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia.
- California is a modified origin state: state, county, and city taxes are sourced to the origin, but district taxes are sourced to the destination.
- The guidance applies to sales within the seller’s home state; out-of-state or remote-seller sales may follow different rules.
