[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 931550, member: 52972"] I think the states will try to get a sales tax for internet perchases made in the seller's state. They have already talked about trying to get sellers to collect taxes for the state the purchase is being shipped to, but I think that really opens up a big can of worms that cannot be controlled...Seller could easily collect the taxes for other states and just not pay the taxes to those states. Those states really have no control over people doing business in other states and the Sellers have not voting rights in those other states. That would end up being a form of Taxation without Representation The Federal Government could start some kind of Federal Sales Tax, but it would not be easy to enforce. The Internet is not as wide open as you might think...Particularly when people can set up an internet site anywhere in the world. Kind of hard for States or the Feds to collect taxes on businesses that are on foreign websites. That would involve Interpol and I don't think they want to get involved in USA taxes collection issues. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
