<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DaveWright, post: 2039261, member: 73044&quot;]It&#039;s an incredible amount of work. In fact, it&#039;s not legal. Court Ruling &#039;Quill&#039; (and its predecessor &#039;Bellas Hess&#039;) requires a company to have a presence in a state in order to collect tax for that state. The issues are many, but one glaring one is that there are now over 10k tax jurisdictions (up from over 9600 last year) and tax cannot be mapped to zip codes, so it actually as to be mapped to home/shipping addresses. Each jurisdiction will have different tax exemptions/rates, and business owners would have to categorize products and prep them in new ways. Their business solutions/carts/tax software/etc. would have to be thrown out as they would have to pay thousands more to integrate a new govt tax software...that even if it worked...would require a new API for each state, and would be rendered useless if businesses don&#039;t know how to prep their data (or can&#039;t afford to) in this new way. Needless to say, just integrating software and providing support is a huge ordeal... but factor in privacy issues (online shopping history mapped to every home address in America), tax complexity, costs, and tax regulations w/o representation... MFA just isn&#039;t a reasonable requirement. (How do a state tell a company w/ no &#039;nexus&#039; that they will be audited, must be subject to inquires, file monthly tax documents, etc... even though they have no representative, no vote and no presence in that state??)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
