Thanks.
If I live in NYC (and my credit card bill to address is in NYC) and I make an online purchase while on vacation in Florida and ship it to the hotel in Florida, will the retailer still have to charge me the NYC the sales tax? Just wondering ...

I live in Iowa, so while I can’t talk about your situation specifically, I can say what I have been told.

If I buy a physical product in say Nebraska and take it to my house, I only have to pay the tax where I buy it (Already figured in by the seller). If I am in another state, order something online and ship it to my hotel, I have to pay the tax where I am registered to live.

I used to travel a lot, and Iowa has a place on their tax form to declare online purchases. My accountant at the time told me that is what I should do to be compliant according to the law.
