It's going to be a nightmare.
As long as it’s just state taxes, not a big deal. Technically, people in those states are supposed to claim the purchases anyway. It’s really just shifting the responsibility. But now a small company in Georgia that sells a single item to some guy in Yreka, CA now has an obligation to the state of California.
I also have to say that $100,000 threshold is bogus. It should be based on something that shifts with the economy like, say, the minimum wage. It could be 10,000 times the federal hourly minimum wage.
I say that because of the mess caused by the AMT being out of date with income levels.
But this is just SD’s numbers.
very quickly, hundreds of companies will come up with the software program where you put a ZIP Code or street address and get the sales tax rate. Of course it will require constant updating. It won’t be a nightmare for small businesses but it will be an extra cost.
