Docucopies.com Refuses to Collect CA Sales Tax


Docucopies.com, an online digital printing company, will stop collecting California sales tax effective immediately. The company recently opened a production center in San Luis Obispo, CA, which cut its delivery time from four business days to one on most of the West Coast. Unfortunately, its physical presence in the state makes Docucopies.com subject to California commerce laws that require the company collect sales tax from any customer whose printing products are delivered to California.
Previously the company, which is incorporated in Minnesota and has their headquarters in Wisconsin, only collected sales tax for work delivered to WIsconsin customers.
Docucopies.com’s management understands the state’s massive budgetary problems, but thinks collecting sales tax on e-commerce is the wrong way to solve them.
