Why Democrats just don't get it.

"I don't regard it as a tax increase. It's only a tax increase to the
person who is paying it," he said.

Well, DUH...

He really should've kept his previous job.

Many, many states require on-line retailers to charge the sales tax on
any purchases shipped to their particular state.

It's more of a closure of a loophole than a tax increase. Why should
the hard working Mom and Pop small businesses, part of the local
community and possibly providing employment and paying other taxes, be
at a 4-9% disadvantage vs. the soulless mega-outlet or internet
retailer?
There's no question that most folks will give lip service to
"supporting local business" while they
almost break their mousing fingers ordering stuff off the internet for
a couple of percent less......most folks mean that *somebody else*
should support local businesses. :-)

Try ordering some boat stuff on line. Many suppliers will charge you
your local sales tax as part of the transaction.

I buy a lot online and haven't paid state or local tax yet.

Ever.

May be a CT law, or lack of one.
Laws in NY and elsewhere may differ from those in your home state.

Only if the store has a presence in your state, interstate commerce is
exempt from local and state tax.

We always have to pay the 14% HST (combined federal GST of 6% + PST of 8%)
when ordering out of province. The seller is obligated to charge this tax
and remit it to the governments. I don't buy from small time sellers so
there may be a louphole there.

As long as your not buying from a store with a presence in your state you'll
never pay any sales tax, it's illegal.

If you order merchandise from a company on the internet with retail stores
in your State you definitely will pay sales tax.......period.

I understand that.

I don't buy from stores that have a physical presence in my state.

Somebody better tell Amazon.com. They don't operate a single retail
store anywhere, yet there are four states that require Amazon to
collect sales tax on shipments.
