I'd love to have some support for a real number. I found a source [1] for the cost to retailers to collect a tax (about 4.23% of tax collected in WA) but while most states make it pretty easy to see how much sales tax was collected they don't make it easy to see what it cost to collect that tax, separate from the other taxes they collect (income tax, corporate tax). If you have any insight into this, or suggestions that are less painful than "read the state budget detail", I'd love to have a cost number that is based on facts.
