"more unified single market..." Well, not so fast. The U.S. has been dealing with sales tax issues on the Internet for years. Not only are there 50 different states, but local municipalities in those states also collect sales tax. And ALL of them are mad they're missing out on sales tax from online sales. There has been huge push-back against proposals to require Internet businesses to collect and pay sales tax across the U.S., but the handwriting is on the wall - sooner or later, U.S. retailers won't be able to play the tax-only-with-physical-presence game. Amazon has laws passed SPECIFICALLY FOR AMAZON[0] requiring they collect sales tax. This feels like it's going to get worse before if gets better.
