Taxes on Northerner
Northerner is required by law to charge applicable tobacco/nicotine taxes and sales tax on online orders. When taxes apply, they will be calculated and shown in the checkout total. Shipping may also be subject to sales tax in some states.
How tobacco/nicotine tax is calculated?
State Excise Tax (SET), also known as tobacco/nicotine tax, is applied based on state and local laws. The tax amount may depend on the product type, state, and local rules. Depending on the state, SET may be calculated based on:
- Northerner’s wholesale cost
- The customer selling price
- Product weight or selling unit
How sales tax is calculated?
Sales tax is calculated according to applicable state and local rates. In some cases, sales tax may apply to the product price, tobacco/nicotine tax, and shipping.
Example
If a product costs $3.99, and the state applies tobacco/nicotine tax and sales tax, both taxes are added during checkout to calculate the final price.
