Well, the way it will work is if I buy “online” and ship it to my address in my state, I’ll only pay *my state’s sales tax”.
And then, likewise, if you buy online and buy it from your address in your state, you’ll only pay *your own state’s sale tax” for the residence that you have in that state.
They’ll do it that way, or else, what you’ll see is everyone buying homes, cars, refrigerators and *everything* online and no one paying any sales taxes anywhere. The states see that thing “down the road” and they’re basically not going to have that happen to their “funding stream” from “sales taxes”.
I would think that should be plainly obvious to anyone...
[... in addition to the fact that this “moratorium” on state sales taxes from the Feds has *always* been “billed as a moratorium” and nothing else...]
I understood what you said in the first place I just didn’t agree with it.
IMO, it will be a new tax that will cover all states equally rather than to attempt to pay based on 50 different rates. It will drive people back to buying in person to avoid the internet tax unless it is lower than your states sales tax. If the internet tax is lower, you will then be required to report the remaining amount due via usary at year end as they will have a means to track your purchases. That is what I see happening.
