Each state has a minimum gross sales before sales tax must be collected. In CO (where I am), it's 100k/yr shipped into CO; in CA, it's 100k/yr or 200 orders. B

Each state has a minimum gross sales before sales tax must be collected. In CO (where I am), it's 100k/yr shipped into CO; in CA, it's 100k/yr or 200 orders.
But if you have a physical presence in CO (or CA), then you have to collect it for all orders (no minimum). But CO and CA consider Amazon FBA warehouses to be an extension of your business.
So if you wanted to make it cheaper, just don't use Amazon's warehouses to store and ship goods from. Also a lot of states allow sales tax to be filed annually.
