And the funny thing is that there is already legislation in place to deal with this.
If an online vendor has a corporate office, a warehouse or a brick and mortar retail store in State XX (that has a sales tax), AND if an online customer places an order to be shipped to an address in State XX, the sales tax for State XX has to be charged. I live in WA State and buy online from Amazon (corporate headquarters as well as warehouse) and I get charged the WA State sales tax. I buy online from Fry's (just a brick and mortar store) and get charged sales tax. Parts Express (great company) - no presence in WA State so no sales tax. If I walked into Parts Express's corporate headquarters in Ohio and purchased some stuff, I could show my WA State drivers license and be exempt from the Ohio sales tax. Why is this any different from an online purchase? Starve the beast -- it is doing nothing good for us. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chris Albertson > Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2013 21:38 > To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement > Subject: Re: [time-nuts] S743 Marketplace Fariness Act > > On Tue, Apr 23, 2013 at 3:51 PM, Tom Knox <[email protected]> wrote: > > > The eBay emails appear real since it can also be accessed > on my actual > > eBay site.
