Sneaky new internet tax pushing through fast

If you collect taxes in the seller's state it's not a sales tax, it's an excise tax. I don't believe that the states are going to stand for that. They want their piece of the pie that has been disappearing (been previously uncollectible) on the internet. This is not a difficult thing to accomplish; many online retailers that have B&M stores implement it now. It simply needs to be setup and administered by the B2C web portal engine. Trust me, these guys are all working on this as a value added service. My guess is that these sites will work as clearinghouses and process the funds collected on your behalf - for a fee, of course. The question is what will happen if and when an online retailer is audited, and by whom?

With all the ways to skin a cat, it doesn't pay to be of the feline variety.

@ Br3098, Very good questions!, I would like to know them answers!, Back to my original post!, LOL!, My state of Alabama is even worse than the goverment with money management!, As said before, In there pockets the money will go!, Give you an example of corruption here, In mobile, Al, we had 9% sales tax, the corrupt mayor asked for a penny sales tax, said it would be temporary, when that year ended and the 10% sales tax did as well, He claimed for the next 3 or 4 months the city had no money to fuction!, he pushed and pushed till he had his way!, We again have 10% sales tax!, then 3 or 4 months after that, LOL!, The city is building a skate boarding park for the public and a ship mueseum down town, millions of dollars!,, so the whole idea about helping the city goverment fuction was a lie!, these construction sites is a way to embesele money in there pockets thru alot of red tape to help cover the truth of the matter!, If you do not know, 10% sales tax is the highest in the country that I am aware of!, So why do we need to give the state, national goverment more tax money?,, cheers!

Btw, We also pay taxes on food at the grocery store when most states do not!,so at this point, again, why do we need to pay more taxes where I live!, you cannot give me an answer for this, my state and city goverment is already killing us!,, cheers!

Sales tax is regressive. I don't like it for that reason. Would prefer to eliminate all sales tax, except on luxury items. Of course, high-end audio would qualify as luxury. But not baby diapers, unless made of mink fur.
