I live in Massachusetts and was charged sales tax for a book I bought. But when I bought a book for shipment to my cousin who is out of state, I did not pay tax. Why?
As a Massachusetts company, disAbilities Books Press, LLC is required to collect sales tax on any goods shipped to in-state customers.
Non-profits do not pay sales tax. If you place an order for a Massachusetts nonprofit, please contact us to let us know so that we can refund the sales tax.
When we ship out of state, we are not required to charge the state sales taxes.
I did not get what I had ordered. What can I do about it?
We try not to make mistakes, but sometimes do. Please contact us with a description of the problem (e.g. what you ordered and what you received), your name and phone number. If it is available, please include the date of your order and the order number.
