Comment on Online Store Owners: Why Don't You Collect Sales Tax?parent

Comments

My understanding is that a state can only require you to collect sales tax if you have a physical presence in that state. Thus the Amazon affiliate fiascos, where states claim that if Amazon pays affiliates there, that's sufficient to create a "nexus" and make them obligated to collect taxes.
