I don't remember if they cover this in the book; I'm just going from the current definitions of things as they stand now. The reason why I applied it to a Fair Tax scenario is because the need for such classification and corresponding collection of that class of taxes would obviously still exist. Actually, the government frankly couldn't care less whether or not you collect any sales or use taxes for them whatsoever, and they'll tell you this if you ask them. As a merchant, you may have the right to collect taxes, but actually collecting them from your customers is entirely up to you. It's a legal fact. On the other hand, *paying* those sales and use taxes that *could* have been legally collected... well, you're *always* going to be responsible for that, as far as the government is concerned. They don't care whether you pay it out of your pocket or pull it out of your mattress or collect it from your customers at the time of sale; they just care that you pay it, on time. So Sales Taxes or Use Taxes, as a merchant you're still on the line to pay them, whether they are collected or not.
