Sales Tax Policy
Effective Date: September 27, 2026
At Trailer Tales LLC, we are committed to handling sales tax in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local tax laws. Sales tax requirements can vary depending on the customer’s delivery location, the product purchased, applicable exemptions, and the tax laws in effect at the time of purchase.
This Sales Tax Policy explains how sales tax may apply to purchases made through our website.
1. General Sales Tax Policy
Applicable sales tax may be added to qualifying purchases based on the laws and regulations applicable to the transaction.
The amount of tax charged, if any, may depend on:
- Delivery address
- Customer’s location
- Product purchased
- Applicable state and local tax laws
- Whether the transaction qualifies for a tax exemption
- Whether Trailer Tales LLC is required to collect tax in the applicable jurisdiction
Sales tax is generally determined based on the applicable rules for the transaction and delivery destination rather than simply the location of the customer when the order is placed.
2. Sales Tax at Checkout
When applicable, estimated or required sales tax may be calculated and displayed during the checkout process.
Customers should review the order summary before completing their purchase.
If applicable taxes are required but are not initially displayed because of a technical or other error, Trailer Tales LLC may take appropriate steps to correct the transaction in accordance with applicable law.
3. Florida Sales Tax
Trailer Tales LLC’s business address is in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Florida generally imposes a 6% state sales tax on taxable sales, with applicable county discretionary sales surtax potentially applying depending on the transaction and delivery location. (Florida Department of Revenue)
For taxable products delivered to customers in Florida, Trailer Tales LLC may be required to collect the applicable Florida sales tax and any applicable discretionary sales surtax.
The actual tax charged will depend on the applicable Florida tax rules and delivery location.
4. Sales to Customers in Other States
Trailer Tales LLC serves customers throughout the United States.
Sales tax requirements differ from state to state. We may be required to collect and remit sales tax in states where we have an applicable tax collection obligation, including where the business has established the required economic or physical connection (often referred to as “nexus”).
If Trailer Tales LLC is not required to collect a particular state’s sales tax on a transaction, the customer may nevertheless have a use-tax obligation under the laws of the state where the product is delivered or used. Florida, for example, explains that use tax can apply when taxable goods are purchased without sales tax and brought into or delivered into Florida. (Florida Department of Revenue)
5. Remote Sales
Online purchases may constitute remote sales for state tax purposes.
For example, Florida requires certain remote sellers without a physical presence in Florida to collect and remit Florida sales tax and applicable discretionary surtax when their taxable remote sales exceed the state’s applicable threshold. Florida currently identifies the threshold as more than $100,000 in taxable remote sales during the previous calendar year for qualifying remote sellers. (Florida Department of Revenue)
Because tax rules differ by state, Trailer Tales LLC will apply the tax collection requirements applicable to each transaction.
6. Local and County Taxes
Some jurisdictions impose additional local or county sales taxes in addition to a state sales tax.
Where required, applicable local taxes may be calculated based on the delivery destination and the rules governing the transaction.
For example, Florida allows discretionary county sales surtaxes to apply to many taxable transactions, with rates varying by county. (Florida Department of Revenue)
7. Tax-Exempt Purchases
Certain customers or organizations may qualify for sales-tax exemptions under applicable law.
Examples may include qualifying:
- Government entities
- Nonprofit organizations
- Resellers
- Other organizations or transactions that qualify under applicable state law
Eligibility requirements vary by jurisdiction.
Customers seeking tax-exempt treatment should contact Trailer Tales LLC before completing their purchase and provide appropriate exemption documentation when required.
8. Resale Certificates
Customers purchasing products for resale may be eligible for a resale exemption where permitted by applicable law.
A valid resale certificate or other required documentation may need to be provided before the exemption can be applied.
Trailer Tales LLC reserves the right to verify exemption documentation as permitted by law.
9. Tax Exemption Documentation
Customers requesting tax-exempt treatment are responsible for providing accurate and valid documentation.
If required documentation is not provided or does not satisfy applicable requirements, sales tax may be charged.
Customers should ensure that exemption certificates and other documentation remain current and accurately reflect their eligibility.
10. Shipping and Delivery Charges
Trailer Tales LLC provides free nationwide shipping for qualifying orders.
The tax treatment of delivery, freight, handling, or other charges can vary depending on the applicable jurisdiction and transaction.
Where applicable, the tax treatment of such charges will be determined according to the relevant state and local tax rules.
11. Sales Tax on Trailers
The tax treatment of trailers may vary depending on the customer’s location, the type of trailer, its intended use, and applicable state and local laws.
Customers purchasing trailers are responsible for complying with any applicable registration, titling, licensing, use-tax, or other governmental requirements in the jurisdiction where the trailer will be used.
Trailer Tales LLC does not provide individualized tax or legal advice.
12. Sales Tax on Shipping Containers
Sales tax treatment for shipping containers may vary based on the jurisdiction, product characteristics, transaction structure, and intended use.
Customers should consult an appropriate tax professional or state tax authority if they need advice regarding a specific tax exemption or use of a shipping container.
13. Sales Tax on Portable Restrooms
Portable restrooms and related products or services may be subject to different tax rules depending on the jurisdiction and the nature of the transaction.
Any applicable tax will be handled according to the tax rules governing the particular transaction.
14. Tax Changes
Tax rates, exemptions, thresholds, and other tax requirements can change.
Trailer Tales LLC may update the amount of tax collected on an order when required by changes in applicable law or tax authority requirements.
The tax treatment applicable to an order is based on the applicable law and requirements at the time of the transaction.
15. Tax Refunds and Returned Products
If an order is returned and a refund is approved under our Returns & Refund Policy, any refund of sales tax will be handled in accordance with applicable tax laws and the circumstances of the transaction.
A sales-tax refund may depend on whether the underlying purchase qualifies for a tax refund under applicable law.
16. Customer Responsibility for Use Tax
When Trailer Tales LLC does not collect sales tax on a transaction, the customer may have a legal obligation to report and pay use tax directly to the applicable taxing authority.
Use-tax obligations vary by jurisdiction.
Customers are responsible for understanding and complying with applicable tax obligations that apply to their purchases.
17. Tax Invoices and Documentation
Where applicable, customers may receive an order confirmation, receipt, or other transaction documentation showing the purchase price and any sales tax collected.
Customers should retain purchase and tax documentation for their records.
Business customers should retain any documentation needed to support their own accounting, resale, or tax reporting requirements.

Trailer Tales LLC does not provide individualized tax, accounting, or legal advice.
