Daily Dose of BS May 7 online taxes


Sales tax on things bought online?  Really we are going to do that now?  It’s about time.  I think that having us as consumers pay sales tax online will even the playing field for many of the businesses that are struggling out there.  My question is how do we pay tax on things we buy from out of country?  Maybe a better way would be to have the business who sold the items have a set of books that show where whatever they sell is shipped to and then have the seller pay tax in that state, this way it would be up to them to figure out the tax and incorporate it into their price.  Not that I support paying more taxes because I don’t but it only makes sense since you are supposed to  be paying sales tax on things you bought online directly to your state anyway.  You are doing that right?
