What’s Changing on April 1st, 2019: 

Last year, the Supreme Court voted to remove the requirement that online retailers must have a physical presence in a given state in order for that state to impose sales tax obligations on a retailer. Since then, states have individually begun to adopt and implement this legislation. While these laws are in their infancy and will continue to expand and evolve over time, COMC will comply with any states requiring us to collect states sales tax on incoming payments from customers that reside within that state.

In accordance with this new legislation, COMC will calculate, collect, and remit sales tax for all incoming payments received from customers residing in the following states starting on April 1st, 2019:

California
Colorado
Connecticut
D.C.
Georgia
Hawaii
Illinois
Indiana
Iowa
Kentucky
Maine
Maryland
Massachusetts
Michigan
Minnesota
Nebraska
Nevada
New Jersey
New York
North Carolina
North Dakota
Oklahoma
Pennsylvania
Rhode Island
Utah
Vermont
West Virginia
Wisconsin
Wyoming

We expect that more states will continue to be added to this list in the coming months and will continue to provide updates as needed.

For tax-exempt and non-profit organizations with a sales tax exemption certificate, or businesses with a resellers permit, please contact staff@comc.com with your documentation so that our team can ensure that your account is not charged sales tax going forward.
