Please note that US sales tax laws and regulations are written, passed, and interpreted by states, and there is no unified federal agreement on how to approach the sales tax for digital products. The taxability of digital products varies greatly by, and within, states. The rate of sales tax can also fluctuate within states and is dependent on local municipalities. The landscape of US sales tax is complex, and continually evolving. Because of this, the US list below does not contain tax rates and is not specific to the Standard Digital Goods category.
