How does US Sales Tax work?

Unlike VAT or GST in other countries, Sales Tax in the United States is almost always calculated as an exclusive addition to the base price of an item. Furthermore, there is no federal sales tax. Instead, rates vary by state, county, and even city.

Do freelancers charge sales tax?

It depends entirely on your state and the nature of your work. Physical goods are almost always taxable. However, digital goods (like software downloads or web design) are taxable in some states (like Texas) but completely tax-exempt in others (like California).
