• Lease or rent tangible personal property in Texas
• Sell taxable services in Texas
• Sell or lease tangible personal property or taxable services to customers in Texas from an out-of-state business and have revenue from Texas of $500,000 or more in the past 12 months

How to Collect Sales Tax in Hideaway

Since Texas uses origin-based sales tax sourcing for intrastate sales and destination-based sales tax sourcing for interstate sales, the same applies to Hideaway as well. 

According to Texas sales tax law, here’s how to collect:

• Intrastate Texas sales: A sale is considered intrastate if it ships from an origin in Texas to a buyer's address in Texas. For example, if your business is in Hideaway, Texas and you make a sale to a buyer in Paducah, Texas, you need to charge the buyer the sales tax rate at your Hideaway location.

• Interstate Texas sales: A sale is considered interstate if the item ships from outside Texas and the seller isn’t otherwise “engaged in a business” in the state. In such cases, you’d generally charge the sales tax rate at your buyer’s location. For instance, if your business is located in Leander, Idaho, and you sell to a buyer in Hideaway, Texas, you should charge the buyer the Hideaway sales tax rate.
