but maybe $90 if the price is $99.99 on those sites. That would be a $20 saving since the buyer isn’t paying sales tax.
Who pays sales tax on medical supplies?
I guess dummies like me? Below are receipts from both llmedico and north shore. My insurance doesn’t cover diapers and I don’t have a fsa or hsa. Maybe I am dumb but I assumed the majority of people don’t either. On no incontinence supply site that I have purchased items from outside of rearz in Canada have I ever NOT been charged sales tax.
How do you not pay sales tax on something that is obviously medical suuplies?
It all depends on where you live and where the vendor is located. In the US, some states charge tax on incontinence supplies, some don't. If you ship from one state (or country) to another, you might encounter different tax laws. Here in the UK, disposable diapers are eligible for zero-tax (VAT Relief), but only up to a certain quantity. When I buy diapers from Germany, I pay tax because i am having them shipped outside the EU even though they are not taxed there. I don't know about Canada, but it might be worth looking into.
