U.S. Ecommerce To Be Broadly Taxed?
fl!ptop writes "ZDnet has a story about U.S. Senators proposing sweeping changes to how Americans are taxed for online purchases. As proposed, businesses would be required to collect sales taxes and send them to the state the purchase was shipped to. As a small business owner that primarily sells via ecommerce, I am shuddering at the prospect of having to deal with government sales tax forms and coupon books for 30 or more states. Will I have to register with each state's tax department? As an ecommerce Web developer, I'm also wondering what implications this will have on maintaining code that calculates sales taxes, expecially in states like Ohio where they differ by county and municipality."
Why would anyone be surprised at the thought of a Republican doing something that fucks over everyone except big businesses like Walmart?
Good job, Wyoming. You sure picked a winner.
How the heck did you learn to bend over that far. I can't even kiss my own ass, let alone stick my head up it.
