Welcome to Hungry Hop's Tax Resources page! As a platform dedicated to empowering home chefs and food vendors, we understand that navigating sales tax rules is essential for running a successful business. To simplify this, Hungry Hop uses Stripe, our third-party payment processor, to automatically calculate, collect, and remit sales tax on your behalf where required by law. You won't need to handle these calculations manually for platform transactions. However, you're responsible for accurately categorizing your products as taxable or non-taxable during setup, in line with state and local laws. This page provides direct links to official tax regulations for each U.S. state, with guidance on distinguishing between taxable and non-taxable food items. Whether you're selling prepared meals, baked goods, or non-perishable products, these resources will help you categorize items correctly, ensure compliance, and focus on what you love -- creating delicious food.
These states generally do not tax the sale of goods, though some may have specific taxes on prepared meals (restaurant tax) or local taxes.
