Item Instock – Sales Tax Policy

Most US states have enacted marketplace facilitator tax laws that affect online marketplaces like Item Instock. These laws shift sales tax and state-imposed fee collection responsibilities from third-party sellers to the marketplace facilitating transactions. As a result, Item Instock calculates, collects, reports, and remits applicable sales tax on behalf of our sellers in states that have adopted Marketplace Facilitator Laws.

State and local sales tax laws may change. Buyers and sellers should review updates in our Help Center for “Sales Tax for Sellers” and “Sales Tax for Buyers.”

Colorado Retail Delivery Fee

Effective July 1, 2023, Item Instock charges a Retail Delivery Fee of $0.28 on each transaction delivered within Colorado. This fee is in addition to applicable Colorado state and local sales tax. All sales taxes and fees appear as separate line items on the buyer’s receipt and are the buyer’s responsibility.

Exemptions from sales tax are accepted for federal and state-issued exemptions. Buyers must provide valid documentation, which will be reviewed and applied to their account if approved.

How Tax is Calculated

Sales tax amounts vary based on:

  • Final total item price
  • Nature of the item (taxable or non-taxable)
  • Shipping charges (taxable or non-taxable)
  • Delivery location

Sales tax is displayed to buyers before completing a purchase, based on the combined state and local rate of the delivery address.

Colorado Retail Delivery Fee: $0.28 per transaction effective July 1, 2023, on all deliveries within Colorado. Details: Retail Delivery Fee | Department of Revenue - Taxation
