Internet Sales Tax Laws?

Question by Nobody | Posted in United States

I have to do a pseudo bill and abstract for my political science class and have decided to do it on internet sales laws. Anyway, I can't really settle on wither or not the bill should be in favor of internet sales taxes or against them. Also, if I were to write the mock bill in favor of internet sales taxes, I'm not in all respects sure who should collect it...

Anyway, the question is, what are some advantages/disadvantages of taxing internet sales?
Endorse VOTE VOTE!

Answer: A key stress of sales taxes are they are charged by where the product is to be delivered. For example, let's assume a company has a natural location in both New York and Florida. A customer in Florida orders a product from that society. The sales taxes charged will be the sales tax for the county in Florida where the product will be delivered. It does not incident if the product was shipped from New York or Florida.

Did 20/20 Get The Sales Tax Laws Wrong?

Question by StephenWeinstein | Posted in United States

On April 11, 20/20 ran a piece on negotiating or haggling to pay less money. In one of the clips, a person is able to pay less by paying in notes because the merchant agrees not to charge sales tax, even though the merchant would have had to charge sales tax on a credit card records.

Are there really laws that impose sales tax on credit card transactions and not cash transactions? Or was the door-to-door salesman required to charge sales tax on the cash transaction, and illegally

Answer: Merchants must imbue sales tax on both credit and cash sales.

Theoretically the customer would be obligated to pay use tax to the state due to having made a hold without paying sales tax, but very few consumers fill out use tax returns.

It does seem that 20/20 was suggesting an illegal vigour if they implied that merchants should negotiate and fail to collect sales tax.
