Sales tax is a consumption tax charged on retail sales. Rates vary by country and state (0-25%), often include local taxes. You collect it from customers and remit to tax authorities.
Most regions require you to collect tax if you exceed certain thresholds in sales or transactions. This is "economic nexus" - no physical presence needed.
Origin-based: charge your location's rate. Destination-based: charge customer's location rate. Most countries use destination-based. Know which applies to you.
