- gojomo 15y agoIt is one interpretation of Constitutional language, that hasn't been construed to say states can't tax these same purchases via a Use Tax. Only that states can't require an entity with no local presence to collect the Sales Tax. Subsidiaries and affiliates are reasonably a local presence. Congress should act; it definitely has the Constitutional power over interstate commerce and has been derelict on this issue.
