    Here in MA our Governor wants to charge Tax on Amazon.

    I obviously like to save a buck, but when you think of it, sticks a bricks local shop have to charge it so its fair online retailers should.

    Amazon will start charging a sales tax in other states, including New Jersey and Virginia, next year.

    I have always paid state sales tax on out of state/internet purchases. Indiana state tax forms asks if you purchased anything out of state that would have been taxed in state. Seeing as I deduct my tool purchases, never thought it was a good idea to commit fraud by answering "no".

    I bought my truck out of state, had to pay the taxes when I plated it.

    Check with the AHJ, what we say doesn't matter.

    In my state of MN even if Internet sales don't charge sales tax I am responsible for paying tax to the state if it is a business purchase.

    They aren't compatible. But if you add another five dollars to that purchase you'll get them for $75

    In MN you are responsible to pay the sales tax on personal items also. They just have no way of forcing you to show them what things you may have bought on the internet. However if you are writing off for a business they can audit you, ask for your records and make you pay the tax. I just got audited for back thru 09, had to pay in some tax and interest but they waved the penalty. I wish they would just have you pay the tax on purchase, I now have to record purchases that are not charging tax and pay it in separately now. I mainly buy on Amazon for convenience, I don't need to save the sales tax. Now I have to file more tax forms to buy out of state, what a hassle.
