What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ
I started an IT Consulting business and when I make recommendations to my clients on hardware I always have them purchase the items online and have it shipped to their place of business. Twice I have been persuaded into purchasing goods for them and then being asked to bill them for reimbursement. Since my client is in NY, if I buy something physically in NJ and ship it to them in NY do I need to charge them sales tax and enroll my company for sales tax with the state? I do not have a business presence in NY. Also I have no plans to sell merchandise. I am service provider only.
