    If i am based and registered as an outlet in Texas and I only have sales and other countries do i need to charge sales tax? Do i need to list each and every one of the locations sold to on my quarterly tax form?

    there may be duties or other tariffs on a country by country basis. fedex, ups, and usps have modules for calculating the duty on the fly or billing it to the customer and are good places to contact for help.

    I don't believe you have to charge sales tax for other US states. You have to in Texas however. I'm not sure about other countries, you may have to add VAT. I am pretty sure you don't have to add sales tax to other states though.

    you have to charge sales tax on items you ship in texas, charge the amount that your county has set, and you don't need to tax shipping either

    if you are shipping to anywhere besides texas then you don't need to charge sales tax

    ok, thanks, but on the sales tax form, do i have to put every single location i shipped to? I have no sales in Texas and my outlet is in texas, it is a website and the majority of items go to germany, spain and stuff, some go to mostly northern states.

    its called the "Texas sales and use tax list supplement"

    in the instructions it says "an entry is required for each city/transit/county/SPD marked with two asterisks, even if the amount subject to tax is zero" does that mean i have to list every single place? That might be over a hundred places and the form only has a place for 20 or so?
