Utah taxes shipping charges when they’re tied to taxable goods.
General Rule
Taxable: Delivery is taxable if taxable goods are included in the sale.
Exempt: If all goods shipped are exempt, shipping is exempt as well.
Handling Charges
Handling and combined “shipping & handling” charges are always taxable.
Best Practices for Compliance
Separate delivery clearly on invoices.
Review mixed orders carefully, as taxable goods make the shipping taxable.
Example
Shipping taxable appliances for $800 with $50 delivery → $50 is taxable.
Shipping exempt groceries with $50 delivery → $50 is exempt.
