Charging tax

[AshleyR]

Those of you that charge taxes on your products, do you price your products so that with taxes the price rounds out to an even number?

For example, if you sell at craft shows and don't want to hassle with change, do you price your products so that with taxes they cost $5.00, instead of like, $5.14?

I see a lot of businesses (specifically on etsy) who's products cost even amounts ($3.00, $4.00, etc.) but I know they collect tax too. I have seen this many times so I'm curious how many people actually do this...

hey Ashley - I don't charge an amount that rounds out so I carry a lot of pennies. To me it sounds better to me to say $5.25 + GST than to say $5.27 to get it to round out to $5.90.

Yeah, I agree with you!
