5) Delivery Charges
When a retailer sells taxable products or services which are subject to tax and the retailer charges the
purchaser for the delivery, the retailer's total charge, including the delivery charge, is taxable. It is
immaterial whether delivery is made by the seller's vehicle, a common or contract carrier, or the United
States Postal Service.
The correct state tax computation to be shown on an invoice when the retailer charges the purchaser for
delivery of the product is shown in the following example:
Merchandise $ 100.00
Delivery Charge 10.00
Subtotal $ 110.00
Tax ($110 x 5%) 5.50
Total $ 115.50

We would only tax the Merchandise here in CA. At least that's the way I see it here.

Amazon taxes their prime memberships too, which I'm dumbfounded about.
The taxes never stop. Lets just keep creating more more more. You wonder why there are so many homeless. They can''t afford to pay their taxes.

In Florida the sales tax is not on the shipping.Shipping
is not extra profit,for the merchant.
He does not keep it. He just collects it,for the state?

I think the problem is similar to what happened on eBay. People were trying to sell a $40 card for $1 plus $39 shipping to avoid the eBay and PayPal fees. The people who were trying to game the system ended up making things difficult for everyone.
