How Delaware Handles Tax on Shipping

Delaware is one of the few states with no statewide sales tax. That means shipping charges are not subject to sales tax in Delaware.

General Rule

No tax: Neither goods nor shipping are subject to sales tax at the state level.

Handling Charges

Since there is no state sales tax, handling charges are not taxed either.

Best Practices for Compliance

• While no sales tax applies, businesses may still need to account for gross receipts tax, which is separate from sales tax.
  ​

Example

You sell taxable goods in another state and ship them to Delaware → no Delaware sales tax applies.
