Oh, I'm just going to pay it. Last thing anyone wants to do is have the Tax Police looking at you. No matter how clean you are it is still a pain in the ass.

IMO for internet purchases the state that has the business should get the sales tax. For example, if being a Michigan resident buy something from FL, I have to pay FL sales tax on that item. If the business has an operation in Michigan, than Michigan gets the tax.

This won't work as every internet sales company in the states would move to Oregon or any other state that doesn't charge sales tax. It has to be the buyers state gets the sales tax. Some states have much higher sales tax rates than others too.

Let's face it, it's been a fun few years of being able to skirt the sales tax on our internet purchases. We all knew we were avoiding our state sales tax in doing so. There's no way that could last forever.

Going back 4 years to bust Shark Diver is ridiculous though.

I assumed those states that didn't charge sales tax would start doing so. Just thinking about different solutions. I am sure it would be easy to poke holes in anything I mentioned.
