Sales Taxes

[Chris in VT]

As we all currently know, if we ship to another state no sales taxes are paid.

People are upset that companies like Amazon and WalMart, etc also don't pay the sales taxes on online orders, so they want those evil corporations to pay up.  Congress will take up this issue in 2013.

So just a heads up. If the law is passed to allow states to collect sales taxes on purchases, we as crafters will be forced to comply. This will mean filling out sales tax forms for 50 states and remitting the money. And even if we have no sales, we will have to submit the forms with zero sales. This will be a logistical nightmare.

We can't demand the big guys pay and exempt ourselves.

What are your feelings?
