I wonder if the state in which we reside in really has a way to collect the taxes from the business of another state if the company doesn't report it?
Now, that's ironyTook 6 months and in the end, they owed us 20k ....
What does an income tax have to do with internet shopping?Washington state does not have income tax. So of course you should pay sales tax for things you buy online and shipped to a local address.
It's not going to get better. I think online vendors and shoppers might as well get used to the idea on taxes.So what did the BRS lawyers have to say about the ruling? Is it only State taxes or is it every City and County tax in the country?
Because WA doesn’t have income tax, sales tax is very important for the state. When people shop online more and more without paying sales tax, the state is losing a lot of tax revenue.What does an income tax have to do with internet shopping?
If they need an income tax, they should pass an income tax. When I lived in WA the lack of an income tax was made up for with very high property taxes.Because WA doesn’t have income tax, sales tax is very important for the state.

It’s hard. People don’t like changes especially something like income tax. Back then when online shopping wasn’t popular this wasn’t an issue.If they need an income tax, they should pass an income tax. When I lived in WA the lack of an income tax was made up for with very high property taxes.

From a small business perspective, the scariest part of a Quill change is potentially being audited by 50 different state taxing authorities.
We got sales/use tax audited here in Minnesota once. Took 6 months and in the end, they owed us 20k .... Was a ridiculous process.
Well when you put it that way, sounds just peachy. The only thing that can save this now is a :cringe federal law ;SpitoutdummyRight now it is the Wild West and the horses are loose. It’s going to be insane hard to manage all this.
After the court ruling we are going to have to collect sales tax from every state that has a law requiring the collection which is quite a few. I’d expect all but a few will have one by the end of the year.
while there is software to manage this last time i checked the best one was going to cost $250k a year . Bet they increase that cost now. There are 12,000 state, county and city tax codes to follow, 50 states that can now audit businesses, and a seemingly limitless amount of rules on what is taxable and what isn’t.
