Why are we charging Sales Tax now?
This change is due to a US Supreme Court ruling (South Dakota vs. Wayfair, Inc.) that allows states to require remote sellers (like e-commerce sites) to collect and remit sales and use tax, even if the seller does not have a physical presence (physical nexus) in that state. Instead, tax obligations are based on the seller's economic activity (economic nexus) within the state.
Adabele.com is now legally required to collect sales tax on products and services delivered to addresses within state boundaries that have adopted laws based on the Wayfair decision.
