the small businesses are getting beaten up badly by the Amazons, the Facebooks, the Googles of the world, yet, we smaller businesses pay the taxes that are used to give these behemoths an unfair advantage over us.
It makes no sense to those that have a modicum of wisdom. Your "fund" idea is a good one, but the federal government would need to work in concert with the states to properly effect it in a constitutional sense. |
I agree, Stan. As I understand it not States cannot require a retailer who has no facilities in their state to collect sales tax for internet sales.
The decision is currently in the Supreme Court. I tend to agree that online retailers should pay sales tax for item shipped to other states, but that creates a tremendous burden on small retailers. Amazon and others can handle the state taxation requirements fairly simply but smaller mom and pop shops would need to invest in software to track the collection and payment of sales tax to each state which would put them at an unfair advantage due to the complexity of each state law. Perhaps the best way to handle this is with a single fund to recieve a set percent sales tax for internet orders and then the fund will distribute to each state based on shipments into that state. This issue as well as the sanctuary issue is increasingly bringing States Rights back into the mainstream discussion. Hopefully, this time we can resolve it without a war. www.nbcnews.com |
I wish to go on the record, once again, to state my sell considered position that Amazon shipments should charged NC State Sales Tax now, which is currently the case, and forever into the future.
Amazon already operates in a business climate that is significantly skewed to their exclusive benefit; they do not need any additional benefits. |
