If you're living outside of the United States, you may be wondering if there's a way to buy an iPad from the US without having to pay any taxes. The good news is that there is a way to do this, but it does require a bit of effort on your part. In this article, we'll explain how to buy an iPad from the US tax-free.
What is the tax-free address?
To understand the tax-free address, you must know what it means and how the US tax system works. The United States has 50 states, and every state has its laws, meaning they all have different regulations, tax rates, and punishments. Even though there are 50 states in the US, there are five sales tax-free states. A tax-free address means a condition where there is no sales tax. The United States has a general regulation that indicates that when purchasing an order or service, you are charged your state tax rate, so if you wish to save yourself from paying taxes, you need to find a sales tax-free US address.
Forwardme proudly provides you with a tax-free Delaware address, thus allowing you to save 7% on every shopping session.
