SkyKing Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 The Supreme Court today has ruled that ALL states may charge sales taxes on out-of-state online retailers and other remote sellers. Up to now, sales taxes could be charged only if the seller had a physical presence within the state where the customer resides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Aldrich Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 I have been being charged sales tax on most of my out of State mail orders for quite some time and some even charge my State's sales tax (9.9) when the supplier is not even in my State.

dmorrissette Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Will be interesting especially with the wide variety of state sales taxes Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyKing Posted June 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 I heard today from one etailer who already collects sales tax for sales to customers in Virginia and Maryland but is NOT going to continue sales to other states because of the anticipated problems in dealing with the paperwork and requirements of the states that have not heretofore collected sales taxes.. And this is before those states have even started to develop procedures for collecting those taxes! I suspect he's not the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roktman Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Unfortunately I'm surprised that that hasn't happened sooner. But in all honesty I was in the camp of staying local first - going to the hobby shop when I could. My last good model store just closed down, so my kits are coming from the Net, but for what I can the bases, plants, certain paints I still get at the craft stores etc... It's just something we're going to have to put up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipmsusa2 Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 For the most part, I deal with the kits my clients provide. When I have to it comes from the net but buy locally whenever I can. As for supplies of all kinds, the net is the last place I'll go, though I've been forced into it a couple of times lately. What I'm wondering about is where downloadable ebooks fall. Depending on how that shakes out, I could very easily be put out of business since I do offer a How-To Modelbuilding Series. There is, of course, one thing we have to keep in mind. Those who sell on the net are usually exempt if their annual sales are below a certain amount....such as $50,000 or $100,000. There are a slew of small etaillers who will never come near that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
