- Services: Services rendered in Delaware are typically not subject to sales tax. This includes consulting, IT services, marketing services, and similar offerings.
- Goods: Tangible personal property sold in Delaware is generally exempt from sales tax. So, physical products like clothing, furniture, or electronics wouldn’t incur sales tax.
- Software as a Service (SaaS): Delaware doesn’t have a specific tax on SaaS. Since SaaS is considered a service, it would likely fall under the general exemption for services.
- Freight and Shipping: If you’re selling physical products and include a separate shipping charge, the shipping cost is generally exempt from sales tax in Delaware, as long as the destination is within the state.
