That is "all" that needs to be done?

They already know to the penny how much dollar volume they do in each zipcode.
The least they could do is run that number through the 10 key and cut a check now and then.

No, this is a HUGE issue for small business.

Who said anything about small business?
But since you brought it up... where is the cutoff for "small?

In other words, you don't have a business.

Got it... but you know everything about how this will impact us.

I'm not getting in an argument about the definition of small business with someone who talks about stuff they don't know. Sounds like we are about to go down the Red Herring road.

But anyone who thinks this is "simple" don't understand small business and how these taxes could impact them...

Hate to be a wet blanket, but legally you have always been required to pay sales tax on internet and mail order purchases. If the seller did not collect it then you were supposed to include it on your state income tax return. Almost nobody does, but that's the law.

I wouldn't mine.. I prefer not to wait in line behind the slowest, unprepared customers, and deal with ****ty customer service.
