Are shipping and handling charges subject to state/local sales taxes
in California?
I just bought a PowerMac 7100/66. It came with system 7.1.2. Apple
just released 7.5. They have an upgrade program whereby for $10 in
shipping and handling alone, they'll send my the 7.5 CD. On the order
form they have a line for sales tax. I mail the form to Buffalo, NY,
but I'm aware of the recent Supreme Court ruling allowing the
interstate collection of sales tax. I'm not arguing on that basis,
but simply on the basis that shipping and handling are not taxable.
On $10, the tax is probably only $0.83, but it's the principle of the
thing.
