Everyone required to charge sales tax now and give it to buyers state.
This can get really complicated for sellers. Sales tax rates are different even within individual states depending on different city, county, and special district taxes. When I ship a product to a different city in Texas I often have to charge a different tax rate than if I sold it over the counter.
Who would have guessed, a 5-4 case?
yes shopping carts will have to be made for that
lots of money for that and money to states
Gorsuch, Alito, Thomas, Ginsburg, and Kennedy for Best Buy and Walmart
Breyer, Sotomayor, Kagan, and Roberts for everyone else
Yet another reason we should have elected Clinton.
I've never understood why they haven't allowed for more members than 9 and also why a simple majority rule is the deciding factor in these incredibly important societal changing cases.
Vote wasnt on typical lines. 3 "liberal" one "conservative" dissented.
yep. looks out of place to see ginsberg there alongside thomas, alito, gorsuch
So 80% of Republican justices, 25% of Democrat justices voted for.
Feel really bad for small online sellers with this ruling. As CosmicCowboy said, there are a lot of different tax rates and rules that these sellers will now need to abide by. Costs to collect sales tax nationwide can easily run between $50-$100K annually.
Oh Noes! We'll have to pay our fair share now.
some entrepreneur will build a database and apps to solve this problem for less-than-megacorp online sellers
cities and states would have a secure channel to maintain their tax rates (aka, self-interest)
The devil's in the details. the South Dakota law applies only to companies of a certain size, around 200 employees if I recall correctly.
The socialist advocate says that capitalism will solve this problem! No way!
I've had an issue last year on a $5,000 part. State sales tax is 4.5. The town in my address tack on another 2%. I don't live in town though. The guy on the phone was arguing with me. (I called because the tax was off). He kept saying, that's what the computer says. I ended up buying elsewhere.
