Does Whiteflash collect sales tax?
Whiteflash is required to collect state sales tax (8.25%) on all orders shipped within Texas or picked up at our showroom. Due to a 2018 Supreme Court ruling concerning internet sales, any state that has a state sales tax will be permitted to require online merchants who meet certain thresholds to collect the tax and remit it to them.

Please note: The collection of internet sales tax is rapidly evolving and Whiteflash is doing everything possible to be in full compliance. While merchants are now being required to collect and/or report to the states, it has always been the obligation of the consumer to comply with their local tax laws.
