[QUOTE="Ocelot55, post: 522490, member: 2387"] I'm a bit upset about it. This won't affect the big stores at all, but it will mean a lot for me. I now have to keep up with the different sales tax rates in all 50 states and municipalities, collect taxes from customers, and then remit them to the appropriate authorities. I doubt that there will be a centralized system to make things easier, or a convenient way to stay up to date with the ever fluctuating tax rates. This means I either spend an inordinate amount of time out of my schedule to make sure I comply with the many different laws, or hire a professional to do the work. Either way, I'm out time or money, the extent of which is unknown. I don't mind being charged sales tax when I shop online. I think that the change was inevitable given the shifting economy. What I apparently don't understand is how the states have the Constitutional authority to regulate interstate commerce, a job traditionally reserved only to the federal government. Of course I also thought the federal government couldn't force an individual to purchase a product against their will (see Affordable Care Act), but I was wrong about that too..... So, please accept my sincerest apologies whenever Blue Room Briars has to charge you guys sales tax if you buy a pipe from us. I wasn't my idea. [/QUOTE]
