Help oppose new Internet Sales Tax!
« on: February 04, 2013, 02:12:01 PM »
While I hate eBay, they have a very good point this time around. This year, congress is really trying to push for an internet sales tax, meaning online sellers would have to collect tax for states they sell in as well as the state they reside in. This is absolutely ridiculous, especially as many of the items sold online have already had tax paid on them when they were purchased the first time.

eBay has a very nice form that you can fill out and it will automatically send a letter to all of your state representatives. It's here if you would like to fill it out and keep online business as open as possible.

Giving this a bump up.

Thanks for posting, I filled it out yesterday when I got the email.

Although I see where they are coming from, I am not sure how they are going to enforce this.

How is this supposed to be enforced? are they nuts!  its going to cost manpower and resources to enforce this in the end.   so like an Internet IRS?

No kidding...its going to take a lot of MOnEy and FuNds our national budget doesn't have to hunt down people and make em pay these taxes.  Who has the power to control the internet anyway?
