About Taxes

Due to the recent Supreme Court decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., States now have the authority to require out of state mail-order companies to collect and remit sales tax. The effective dates for these requirements vary by state. In accordance with these varying requirements, Holt’s will collect sales tax from the customer and remit the tax on their behalf to the appropriate State.
