>The issue of imposing sales tax on out-of-state purchases ultimately may be settled by the Supreme Court.
>In a 1992 case dealing with a mail-order office supply company, the court ruled that states could not require companies that did not have a physical presence in their state to collect sales tax.
It goes on to say that South Dakota has passed a law saying out of state retailers need to collect state sales tax, but that the supreme court has agreed to hear a challenge to the case.
- Sir_Cmpwn 9y agoRight. What I'm arguing is that if they can't make the sellers collect sales tax, then they can't collect sales tax at all. Expecting consumers to keep track of sales tax themselves for every little purchase (often hundreds per year!) is nuts.
