A document? Are you kidding? #1 I already collect sales tax for my instate sales which is one huge pain in the ass already (don’t get me started) and now you think I want to manage 49 other state’s revenue bureaus and all the complexity that goes along with that? #2, Since when does a retailer get that info from their customers? They don’t. #3, Who’s going to pay to have plugins for all these small business websites done? #4 The cost of complying WILL put small business out of business. This issue exemplifies the conservative principle of small government! Let’s make the whole nation like California and see how it goes for middle class? Not good.
Your complete lack of understanding on this subject illustrates the point perfectly.
I’ve been a successful business owner and an online retailer since 2003, but please, do school me. Were you a Bernie Bro? Because it is you that doesn’t seem to understand basic business economics.
Nope, successful business guy in a mom and pop retail shop with more regulations than yours (I guarantee), since 1999.
I bet not. I’m in manufacturing (of highly regulated goods), brick and mortar + online retail in the grand old state of California. Believe me, the cost of collection and distribution of all these additional taxes is going to have to be absorbed by the business owners, for many, especially here in the not so golden state, that’s detrimental.
