YOU are responsible for paying local and State taxes in your own town. If YOU decide to purchase something from a vendor outside of your state, that is YOUR decision to make. Do you believe your State should have the power to tax people and businesses not located in the State?

It should only matter where the business transaction takes place AND what is the business address on the business license. If someone out of state or country makes a purchase at your business address, they pay the same tax as if it was some local resident.

I understand that many states require a "use tax" to be paid by the individual if you make a purchase out of state. It's up to the individual to keep records of taxes paid on such out of state purchases and pay any additional offset because your residence state has a higher tax rate than the state in which you made the purchase from. If you paid more taxes where you bought the item than your state of residence then you pay no use taxes to your state of residence.
