Important Sales Tax Information
AMA is required by law to collect sales tax on orders shipped to states where AMA has economic nexus. If you are shipping to any of these states, the appropriate charges will be added to your total order and displayed on your final order confirmation.
For states imposing sales or use taxes, your purchase is subject to use tax unless it is specifically exempt from taxation. Your purchase is not exempt merely because it is made over the Internet or by other remote means. Some states require each purchaser to report any taxable purchase that was not taxed and to pay use tax on the purchase. The tax may be reported and paid on the state’s individual income tax return or consumer use tax return. Details of how to file these returns may be found at the websites of your respective taxing authorities.
