[quote:Anonymous Coward 29093026:MV8yMDc1NjIyXzM0OTQ0MTU5X0Q0RkFBOTQ5] [quote:Copperhead:MV8yMDc1NjIyXzM0OTQzNzk0XzlGQTRERUYz] [quote:Anonymous Coward 12876915:MV8yMDc1NjIyXzM0OTQyMDI2XzJGQUQxN0Y0] [quote:MyAffliction:MV8yMDc1NjIyXzM0OTQwMTMzX0VEMTc3MDg2] Thanks for the pin! Yes I think this is a small part of the big picture of controlling the Internet. I happen to be the owner of a small online business and I can tell you right now this would be a HUGE burden on me at this point. So as for the comment on a "group that opposes".... All online business owners should and probably do oppose this' [/quote] How will it be a burden on you? If you use paypal, for instance, you just figure the tax for each state and it automatically adds @ purchase. [/quote] PayPal will add it to the purchase, but I would still have to keep track of the tax PayPal collected for the 49 states other than my own, and send them the tax collected at the end of each quarter. Add to that the local option sales taxes and other special sales taxes that states and counties add and it will be a nightmare. I sell to all 50 states and this scares the hell out of me. [/quote] Why does it scare you ?. Basicly you have dodged sales tax for years is what you are saying. [/quote]
Original Message
This proposed bill has been called assault on tax payers!! However most are FOR it saying "taxing Internet purchases is just common sense"!
Cited from article:
The Computer and Communications Industry Association, a group that opposes this move, says that an online sales tax will burden small businesses, “some of the most promising candidates for future economic growth.”
