Amazon is now collecting tax for Colorado customers.
Well, Colorado technically is collecting it.

I would think it would be against the law to state you are collecting a sales tax if you are not actually sending it on to whomever the tax is for. I doubt they are sending the tax onto Nebraska if they don't have to. But I have been wrong before.

In most (maybe all?) states, if you make a purchase like the one you described you are required to declare that on your state income tax return and pay the appropriate sales tax with your tax return. I'm not saying that anyone actually does it, but you are supposed to do so. True story.

A licensed business in Missouri is required to pay sales tax on All non profit sales-Internet or not.
Most probably just figure it into the sale, but some are adding it. With high postage cost- buying on the Internet can actually cost more. Selling too. |

Technically, even if a company doesn't charge sales tax, you're legally required to pay it anyway when you do your taxes.
No one ever does, but you're probably not going to get very far convincing someone to make an exception to their systems since you should theoretically be paying it anyway. |

That is, in fact, extremely unlikely. Most than likely they are voluntarily collecting and paying the tax in all states to avoid any possibility that they are violating state law. States are increasingly collecting sales tax on internet sales as brick and mortar sales get displaced.

I live on the KS side of the metro. A few years ago I bought something pretty expensive in KC, MO. The guy said that if I had it mailed to me he wouldn't have to charge me sales tax. OK, I said.
So he goes and packages it up...then he hands it to me and asks me if I'd do him a favor and drop in it the mail for him. OK... |

Seams like everything I have bought online for the past couple of years had sales tax, never really questioned it?
