On Line Sales Tax
 

I shop on line all the time. Never paid much attention to the taxes I am charged.

Despite the current Resident’s lies, Amazon has collected state sales taxes for years. The big online camera retailers like B&H Photo and many similar retailers will be hit by this. This is likely to Amazon’s advantage, as a lot of that business will now be headed their way, since they ship much faster than B&H, etc.

President Trump has repeatedly taken to Twitter to attack online retailer Amazon.com for paying “little or no taxes” to state and local governments and has called for changes in current laws to require retailers to collect sales tax in every state.

But the Trump Organization’s online store, TrumpStore.com, collects sales tax only on orders shipped to three states: Florida, Louisiana and Virginia, according to its website. Under current federal rules, online retailers must collect sales tax in each state where they have a physical presence — a store, warehouse or factory, for example. A total of 45 states, as well as the District, require sales tax.
