Why does Janie and Jack charge sales tax on online orders?
Janie and Jack is required by law to charge sales or use tax in any state in which it has a physical presence. Since Janie and Jack is a fully owned subsidiary of Gymboree Corporation and Gymboree has a presence in 50 states, we must charge tax in all of these states. The actual tax rate applied to your purchase is based on the destination of the order.
