Bob D. .... NYS sales tax....

I didn't want to interfere with Lamont's post.

You just purchased from Lamont. I'm not trying to be nosy; but, did you pay NYS sales tax. Here's why I ask. I was going to purchase from hayneedle.com, patio furniture. It was $500, and 3 months ago I made a purchase thru them, and there was no sales tax. Now, they want 8%, and I called them. They said 2 months ago they added 14 states to their list in which state sales tax must be paid. If you want to P.M. me, go ahead. The company has no presence in NYS; that includes stores or warehouses.

But watch for the sneaky ones collecting but pocketing the funds....:lecturef_smilie:

...who collects and keeps it rather than pay the state?

He didn't charge me for NYS Sales Tax. :thumbup:
As an out of State Vendor: I don't think that he could.

several states, Arkansas included are passing laws that say the out of state vendors have to collect and send the sales tax to the buyers state

Utah Either has or is working on such a law now. I know I just ordered some oil from out of state and I was charged sales tax for the first time.

Which is why businesses have been successful at holding out of state sales tax collection at bay. But the wall is cracking. Like Cruzr said, more and more states are forcing out of state vendors to collect for them. I think what we'll eventually see is a compromise uniform sales tax level for interstate sales and all vendors will be required to report and pay it to their own state tax commission, and then the tax commissions will forward it to the states of residence of the buyers. Even states like Oregon who don't have a sales tax might get on the bandwagon and rake in out of state sales taxes just to keep the system uniform.

Darn it and I just moved to AR lol:banghead:

:shocked: You've got them up there also?
What happened: did they migrate North? :dontknow:

You can keep them; we still have MORE than enough of them down here!

They could get really greedy like the state Maine tried to be when Cabellas came into the state. They wanted them to charge sales tax on ALL their sales including store and internet sales anywhere in the country. Now that is greedy.:yikes:

:agree::gaah:

Technically, in most states, you have to pay the tax to the state you live in, when you order online. Iowa calls it Use Tax. There is a form you fill out and file. It is a law that is almost impossible to enforce, since it relies on people self reporting to pay the tax. Spent time on the phone, over the years with Iowa and Minnesota, Dept. of Revenue, this is what I was told. It is convoluted how all of this works, and from a business view some uniformity would be beneficial.

After all the responses, I'll be making the purchase. I was just double checking on the validity of what the company stated.

Thanks

We have been paying sales tax on online purchases for about 3 years in California.

this is why ebay & online says have grown & brick & mortar is declining.

California is one of them also. I paid CA sales tax purchasing stuff from there ship to Ohio.
And their requirement to be tax exempt as reseller is nuts. All kind of forms !
