<p>[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 3741991, member: 27832"]It was a really <i>stupid</i> and <i>destructive</i> decision to rule that sellers everywhere need to be responsible for tracking, calculating, and remitting taxes according to the fickle whims of every locality in the US. Heck, <b>I</b> sure wouldn't know how to calculate whether a particular address in <i>my own region</i> should be taxed at 6.75%, 7%, 7.25%, or 7.5%. Never mind how to calculate tax on a gold coin (non-taxable) mounted in a gold bezel (jewelry, taxable). And I'm supposed to calculate accurately for a bidder in Left Armpit, Kentucky?</p><p><br /></p><p>Pass a rational nationwide e-commerce tax structure, <i>then</i> start enforcing it. Oh, sorry, I used that nasty nonsense word "rational" in relation to financial legislation. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
