Re: [MBZ] Taxes on online purchases
You were always supposed to pay sales tax on on-line purchases, but it was on the "honor" system. You declared it on the State Income tax form and paid it there. Enough States got together and forced the issue of sellers having to collect the tax. I don't remember whether congress got involved or not, but they probably did.

Re: [MBZ] Taxes on online purchases
In WA, the "Amazon tax" is complicated. They tax on _facilitators_ that do more than X (for some value of X that is very low) amount of business in that State. All Amazon and eBay sales are now taxed, full retail. So, if you do business _directly_ with an out-of-state provider that has neither an in-State presence _nor_ does an appreciable detectable amount of business in your State, the transaction remains tax-free like before. For a brief time when WA was first doing this I had big-ticket items shipped to my work address in ID. But now they've gotten into the game too. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] Taxes on online purchases
State tax revenues were getting hugely diminished by online purchases so the states all got into taxing them just like a store purchase. Even stuff from the chinee sites charge sales tax --FT Sent from iFōn > On Oct 22, 2022, at 10:28 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > > How many if you have to pay sales tax on online purchases such as from > Amazon, ebay, etc?
