On this page
The sales tax a customer pays on an order is included in the payout we send you for that order. You’re responsible for paying it to your state and local tax authorities.
Where to see the sales tax
The price breakdown on each order’s page lists its Sales Tax. The yearly accounting spreadsheet on your Payouts page also lists the sales tax for each order. See How and when do I get paid?
Your 1099-K
If a legal entity’s payments through CaterCow for the year meet the federal or state reporting threshold, we issue a 1099-K for it. See Where do I find my 1099-K tax document?
Orders marked tax exempt
Our team marks a customer’s company as sales-tax exempt. A tax-exempt order doesn’t include sales tax, and its price breakdown shows Sales Tax Exempt instead.
When we have the customer’s exemption certificate on file, it comes with the order. To download it, click Download Tax Exempt Form in the email we send when you accept the order, or click the exempt from sales tax link on the order’s page. If neither shows up, there’s no certificate on file for that order.
In some states, we can’t process tax-exempt orders. Orders there include sales tax even when the customer’s company is tax exempt.
