I think most states have already forced that issue.
Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin.
All I know is that I buy tax free from Amazon. That is great because in Ohio we have a state sales tax and we also have a county sales tax in Cuyahoga County. They add up to 7.5% but everyone ‘rounds’ it up to 8%. So on a large purchase it is a substantial amount of money and comes into the consideration of where to buy a product.
Pretty much. I can't speak for other states, but when California forced this on Amazon, Amazon decided to build distribution warehouses within the state. This would allow them to be able to offer same-day or one-day delivery options in the future. As it is, some items that used to take 2-3 days to get we will get the next day from Amazon.
While that works for Amazon because they are a large company, the smaller online businesses will choke on the increased paperwork.
