At Bourbon and Whiskey Vaults, we follow all state and federal tax laws to ensure accurate collection and reporting of sales tax. This Sales Tax Policy explains how sales tax is calculated, when it applies, and what customers should expect during checkout on bourbonandwhiskeyvaults.com.
1. How Sales Tax Is Calculated
Sales tax is calculated based on the shipping destination of your order. The tax rate applied at checkout may vary depending on:
- The state and local tax requirements of your delivery address
- The type of products being purchased
- Applicable state or regional alcohol-specific taxes
The exact tax amount will be displayed before you complete your purchase.
2. States Where We Collect Sales Tax
We are required to collect sales tax in any state where our business meets nexus guidelines. Nexus may be established by:
- Shipping products into a state
- Meeting sales thresholds
- Operating facilities, warehouses, or other business connections
If sales tax applies to your order, it will automatically appear during checkout based on your shipping address.
3. Alcohol-Specific Taxes
Because Bourbon and Whiskey Vaults specializes in alcohol products, certain states may impose additional fees or alcohol-specific taxes. If applicable, these charges will also be included in your order total and displayed at checkout.
These taxes are determined by state law and cannot be removed or reduced by our company.
4. Tax-Exempt Orders
At this time, we do not process tax-exempt orders for consumer purchases.
If you are a licensed reseller, distributor, or entity claiming exemption, you must contact us in advance and provide valid tax-exemption documentation. Approval is not guaranteed and must be confirmed before placing your order.
5. Changes to Sales Tax Requirements
Sales tax laws frequently change at the state and federal level.
As regulations evolve, our system will automatically update tax collection rates to remain accurate and compliant.
Because these changes are law-driven, we cannot provide refunds or adjustments for taxes required at the time an order is placed.
6. Refunds of Sales Tax
If an order is canceled or refunded, any collected sales tax will be refunded to the original payment method.
Please note that tax refunds depend on the nature of the return and the laws of your state.
