[quote=briansd1]…Btw flu, nobody I know adds up purchases made out of state and online and remits use taxes at the end of thet year. Too much responsibility placed on the taxpayer.
Businesses that have accountants do that but not average joes. That’s why the state is going after big retailers like Amazon. There are billions at stake[/quote]
Agreed, brian. I am not a big “shopper” per se, but often order (out-of-state) online (Amazon – YES) for the “esoteric” (often-hard-to-locally-find) things I need. ebay is my friend, lol. I’m an authorized reseller who realizes the value of the price of gas and that you can’t often find exactly what you need locally.
I will, of course, pay my relevant “sales tax” at such time it is charged to me in an online transaction and not before. There is no compelling reason to do so for out-of-state transactions at this time.
