It’s super weird. Some states, if you ship through them, will charge a small tax, but only if you’re a big company
So other states that don’t, shipping tables will sometimes adjust to ship over those states instead, if the system decides it’s cheaper. The system is populated by essentially accountants and lawyers
For small businesses it doesn’t usually matter, so since John is just picking it up himself, probably doesn’t apply
But if Dave is selling hundreds of toilets, from California to Illinois, if Daves truck goes through Idaho (just making that up) Dave may have to pay a small tax to Idaho
- feet 4y agoMy point was that only a single state is involved which is "inter" not "intra" The scenarios where multiple states are involved don't matter because that was not the situation being discussed. Nobody was shipping "through" a state in the story
- feet 4y agoI meant "intra" not "inter" for a single state in the first sentence
