[QUOTE="David Ponder, post: 931556, member: 65447"] I agree with Eddie... I cant stand the fact that a used, resold car is taxable. The sales tax was already paid at the time of the original sale, and you already get hit for personal property taxes every year... :angry: Anyway back to topic, I agree that its only a matter of time before an internet tax is established, as there is just too much "potential revenue" there for the government to sit by and not tap it. I will say however that it would be very hard to enforce if you purchased from overseas, and enforcement in the US wouldnt be any easier. State, County, Local taxes based on Ship to address, and some may vary on what was purchased. For instance, here the tax for food items is less than other goods, so they would have to break it down under a per item basis, not a subtotal of the purchase. For "new" itens, a fair tax would be best, and not just on the internet... :-) What about a flat 1% tax on all purchases, with 50% going to federal, and the remaining 50% split evenly between all 50 states?
