Sales Tax Policy

At Custom Cube Crafters, we aim to provide transparent pricing for our shipping containers and Tiny House Capsules. This Sales Tax Policy explains how we collect and remit sales tax for purchases made in the USA, ensuring compliance with applicable state and local tax laws as of 2026. By ordering from us, you agree to these terms.

1. Sales Tax Overview

• What is Sales Tax?: A consumption tax imposed by state and local governments on the sale of goods, collected at the point of purchase.

• Our Obligation: As a U.S.-based business, Custom Cube Crafters is required to collect sales tax in states where we have a tax nexus (physical presence or significant economic activity).

   

2. When Sales Tax Applies

• Taxable Items: Sales tax applies to all shipping containers, Tiny House Capsules, and optional modifications unless a valid exemption is provided.

• Delivery Location: Tax is calculated based on the delivery address (destination-based), not the billing address.

   

• Rates: Rates vary by jurisdiction. For 2026, combined state and local rates typically range from 6% to over 10% in high-tax areas (e.g., Illinois combined rates can average around 8.96%).

   

3. States Where We Collect Sales Tax

We collect sales tax in states where we have a legal nexus, including:

• Physical Presence: Illinois (our home state and primary hub).

• Economic Nexus: States where we exceed statutory thresholds (e.g., California, Texas, and New York).

• Note: Sales to states with no statewide sales tax (Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon) are typically exempt, though local taxes may apply in Alaska.

4. How Sales Tax is Calculated

• At Checkout: Tax is automatically calculated based on your delivery ZIP code.

• Custom Orders: Tax applies to the full price of Tiny House Capsules, including all built-in modifications.

• Delivery Fees: Taxability of shipping varies by state. In Illinois and California, separately stated shipping charges are often exempt if they meet specific criteria, while combined "shipping and handling" fees are generally taxable.

   

5. Tax-Exempt Purchases

If you are a nonprofit, reseller, or government entity:

1. Submit Documentation: Provide a valid tax-exempt certificate or reseller permit before checkout.

2. Email: Send your forms to sales@customcubecrafters.com.

3. Verification: We will verify your status within 2–3 business days and update your account to tax-exempt status.

6. Responsibility for Taxes

• Customer Responsibility: You are responsible for the sales tax displayed at checkout.

• Use Tax: If we do not collect sales tax in your state (due to lack of nexus), you may be legally required to report and pay "use tax" directly to your state’s revenue department.

7. Refunds and Sales Tax

• Cancellations & Returns: If you receive a refund for a returned or cancelled item, the corresponding sales tax will also be refunded, per U.S. tax standards.
