Sales Tax Policy
1. Overview
Dirt Life Power Sports is required to collect and remit sales tax in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local law. This policy explains how sales tax is calculated and applied to your order.
2. Pennsylvania Sales Tax
Dirt Life Power Sports is based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania imposes a statewide sales tax rate of 6%. Philadelphia County adds a local sales tax of 2%, bringing the combined rate within Philadelphia to 8%.
Most locations in Pennsylvania are subject to the 6% state rate. Only Philadelphia County (8% combined) and Allegheny County (7% combined) apply additional local sales tax; all other counties apply the 6% state rate.
3. How Tax Is Calculated
Pennsylvania uses destination-based sourcing for remote sales. This means that, for orders shipped to a customer, sales tax is generally calculated based on the delivery location rather than the location of our business.
The applicable tax rate for your order is determined and displayed at checkout, based on the shipping or delivery address you provide. The final tax amount will be shown before you complete your purchase.
4. Out-of-State Orders
If you are located outside Pennsylvania, sales tax is applied based on whether we are required to collect tax in your state and the tax rate applicable to your delivery location. Where we are not required to collect sales or use tax in your state, you may still be responsible for reporting and paying any applicable use tax directly to your state’s tax authority. You are encouraged to consult your state’s tax authority regarding your obligations.
5. Titling and Registration Fees
Sales tax is separate from government titling, registration, and related fees. Those fees are set by the applicable government agency and are described in our Titling & Registration information. Any such fees are additional to the purchase price and applicable sales tax.
6. Tax-Exempt Purchases
If you qualify for a sales tax exemption (for example, as a reseller with a valid exemption certificate), you must provide valid exemption documentation before or at the time of purchase. We reserve the right to verify any exemption claim and to charge applicable tax if valid documentation is not provided.
7. Changes to Tax Rates
Sales tax rates and rules are set by government authorities and are subject to change. The rate applied to your order is the rate in effect at the time your order is placed. We update our tax calculations to reflect current law.
