III) Sales Tax:

    * US Sales Taxes - Products sold by Chowrentoys.com and shipped to destinations in California and Washington are subject to sales tax.  Chowrentoys.com does not collect sales taxes for destinations outside of these 2 states.  The buyer may be responsible for paying local use or sales taxes.  Please check with your local authorities.

    * How is sales tax calculated - State laws require us to calculate sales tax on the total selling price.  The total selling price of an order will generally include summary prices of each item, shipping and handling charges, discounts and gift-wrap charges.

    * Tax rate - The rates that applied to your order will generally be the combined state and local rate for the address where your order was shipped.  Please note, the sales tax rate applied to your order may be different for an order shipped to your home address than it is for an order for the very same items shipped to your work address.  Our store software will use sales tax rates from a leading tax rate service provider.

    *  Estimated taxes - When you place an order we will give you an estimated sales tax rate.  The reason is that many factors can change between the time you place an order and the time of payment authorization.  The amount appearing on your order as Estimated Taxes may differ from the sales taxes ultimately charged  For example, tax law changes may occur between order placement and payment authorization that could result in an increase or decrease in taxes charged.
