Tax
USANA is required by law to collect and remit sales tax in all 50 states and all provinces of Canada. Our independent Associates give us nexus or presence in the states and provinces, and by law if we have nexus in these areas we are required to collect and pay tax to the different jurisdictions. Since we are a multi-level marketing company, the different jurisdictions prefer to deal with one company, rather than each individual. If USANA did not collect the tax, each Associate would be required to get a business license for each jurisdiction they sell in and collect and pay their own tax to these jurisdictions.
*USANA has registered with all states to collect sales tax on behalf of our Preferred Customers and Associates and remit the tax to the states. We have registered in all states that charge sales tax so our Associates do not need to register.
Orders are charged tax for products and shipping based off of the postal code for the taxes registered for the city, and province you live in.
Associates and Distributors
Associates and Distributors are charged tax on the Preferred Price plus 10 percent.
Preferred Customers
Preferred Customers pay tax on the price that they pay for items. In other words, if they purchase items at the Preferred Price, then their tax is charged on the Preferred Price. If they have an Auto Order, then their tax is charged on the Auto Order price.
Will Call Orders
Tax is based on the will call location for will call orders. For example, an order placed on an Idaho account for pickup at the Woodbridge will call location will be charged Ontario sales tax.
