> Bezos/Amazon: changes in the laws concerning mail order and paying taxes for items shipped from one state but being delivered in the other (there are 7000+ taxing jurisdictions in the USA), which made it impossible for smaller businesses to remain compliant; While it is more of a nuisance to be compliant it is definitely not impossible or even very hard. For our small company's home rolled e-commerce system (long story) I researched and then implemented tax estimation, collection and reporting to accounting down to the zip+4 level in a week or two. It does involve buying a subscription to jurisdiction level tax data and ingesting it regularly, but I don't recall it being expensive. In addition, many states are part of a uniform system which makes the estimation easier.
