In a non-binding resolution passed last week, 75 senators from both sides of the aisle agreed that states should be able to force any internet retailer who makes more than $1 million in sales annually to collect sales taxes for them, regardless of whether the retailer physically does business in the state.
The amendment to a budget bill merely takes the temperature of the Senate on the issue of a so-called internet sales tax. Another vote would still have to happen to send the idea on its way to becoming actual law. But any tax sponsored by a Wyoming Republican, in this case Mike Enzi, that Al Franken also supports seems destined for safe passage through the Senate.
Last 2 times I purchased from Amazon they charged tax, so I stopped using there service if all companies does this it will hurt Internet sales. Good old McCain and Graham they both belong in the Democrat circle.
Amazon placed a location here in Texas a year or so ago, therefore they can and have to charge state sales tax.
