    What people miss is that, if the store does not collect tax (no tax) then the buy still needs to pay the tax.

    Interstate shipping is viewed more as wholesaler transfer. When you buy out state, you are importing goods to your state. If you "consume" them then you pay the local tax on the "consumation" based on your price. If you sell them retail, you collect the tax and pay that.

    This is what business have done for years.

    It is what you should be doing today.

    Amazon has a distribution center in Kansas. Other companies that don't have a presence can safly ignore Kansas law.
