I'm confused. What does this mean: "No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State"? (It's from the Constitution!) It is presently interpreted to mean that states cannot charge sales tax on goods as they leave, but states can charge sales tax on goods that are imported from other states (even though those same goods were, of course, exported from the state of manufacture).

Hmm, well, plan B calls for firearms—I’m pretty sure they’re not armed ;)

I’m conflicted. On the one hand, I love not paying tax on online sales. On the other hand, as a web designer, my clients will have to pay me to set up their e-commerce sites with the new system.

Only the hunters. And they only get out of their trucks to take a few “sound shots” now and then. My brother calls them “beer hunters”.
I expect the Masshole northern migration to continue unabated as it has all of my 60 years and before.

...but states can charge sales tax on goods that are imported from other states (even though those same goods were, of course, exported from the state of manufacture). Well, that explains the "use" in the sales and use tax here in Virginia.

"States are losing money This Holiday Season with On-Line sales"What a bunch of crap. How can you "lose money" when you're just confiscating less?

With the exception of foodstuffs, our goal is to do 100% of our shopping online.The last time I was in a store was to buy a car.

Maryland is certainly missing out on our Christmas business this year. With the exception of foodstuffs, our goal is to do 100% of our shopping online.Just bought a $1000 Laptop in Newark, Delaware. No sales tax there. $15 gas expended, $50 sales tax saved. Wooo Hooo!

Why are states entitled to tax on products which are not produced or involve any labor or preparation within those states?
To: chicagolady
The states are not 'losing' anything.
I promise that for everything I bought online and out of state this year, that I will fill out and send money to Springfield on the Fair Use Tax of alllllllll my purchases.
That is when, Hades freezes over and monkeys fly out of my butt.

I’ve heard of people in bigger urban areas order groceries online and have them delivered. No idea how well it works as I’m in the middle of nowhere.
