POTUS is thrilled about putting me out of business??? WTF Trump! My family needs my income and I can't afford a full time bookkeeper to file 50 States sales tax, business tax, State tax ect… I would end up paying for the luxury of having a job.
the only companies who can afford to take on the extra labor for the bookkeeping are the GIANTS so so little guys can exist. I wouldn't care if it was a single filing to the State I live in but I can't spend my time on 50 AND produce!
I don't drop ship. I make everything with my own 2 hands.
not asking for sympathy but at least hear my situation out so you have all info to form opinion. Passing sales tax on to customers is no big deal and just a matter of coding a few lines. Reporting the sales tax to 50 separate States is the issue that will put so many people out of business! The only online sales will be from big box stores because they can absorb the cost of bookkeeping to file all reports. imagine that you only sold $3.95 in a State but had to pay a bookkeeper to fill out all necessary paperwork to pay that State their .27 cents. It's cheaper to give it for free! Small businesses like me can't afford the labor to do the paperwork but can otherwise earn a living. I would have no problem collecting tax and filing for a single State but 50 makes it not cost effective to stay in business.
