The Marketplace Fairness Act would allow state governments to collect sales taxes from online retailers who do not have a physical location in their state and have revenues of over $1 Million per year. Online retailers would be responsible for collecting the taxes and distributing them to state and local governments. Proponents of the bill include brick and mortar retailers who argue that exempting online retailers from sales taxes penalizes traditional stores who are forced to charge customers higher prices due to cover the tax. Opponents argue that since online retailers do not use local services funded by sales taxes they should be exempt and that the federal government should not get involved in state tax issues.

Yes
@9FNY3KM 9mos9MO
we shouldnt have taxes for something bought online because we already pay for shipping and the product
@9FQL3ZN9mos9MO
If online taxes must be paid, pay the same amount of taxes the patrons pay in the jurisdiction the products originate, with all the tax money going to that jurisdiction only, and not to the corrupt state where the buyer lives.
I feel like online sales tax should be legal because you're paying taxes to the government which helps them gain more support for our country.
@ISIDEWITH7yrs7Y
Yes, some version of this is probably appropriate. As always, more thought is needed.
No, and abolish consumer-side sales taxes
@9N6RHRB3wks3W
As online purchase not only rockets item prices in real stores, it also means that the coustomer has to pay more for the product they purchased.
@9FJ6HKS9mos9MO
i think there should be a law for specific online shopping
@9FGY9NS9mos9MO
Customers should pay what they must pay and that’s it
@9FDJCXD9mos9MO
No, and get rid of sales tax
@9FDD7ST9mos9MO
Most online sellers don't profit as it is and sell to multiple states. Adding this stress to a small business that is already struggling is cruel and unnecessary
@9FBYNMR9mos9MO
No, and end the sales tax
@9FBRS259mos9MO
@9F9JRV89mos9MO
It would be most logical if interstate sales taxes were equal to the buyer's state's tax plus the seller's state tax, divided by 2
@9F8MGYB9mos9MO
No, it is too easy to download a VPN and enforcing this law would be more trouble than it's worth.
@9F3393D9mos9MO
FairTax everywhere, and that retail sales tax should apply on wherever the transaction is conducted.
@9F2QT9R9mos9MO
Too wordy, use grammarly to be chill
It already does through use tax in all states that have sales tax
@9DHJ63310mos10MO
Not enough knowledge on the subject matter to give an informed response
@9DF8GDH10mos10MO
All states should have the same tax system to unify the system.
@9DCWK4M10mos10MO
No, I hate money as a concept.
@9D8PKXK10mos10MO
I don’t have an opinion.
@9D8JTH710mos10MO
No, only ad sales tax on the sales of luxury companies.
No, abolish all private property and eliminate the worry about collecting out of state taxes
@9D5JBDK11mos11MO
Don’t have an opinion on this topic.

@9D4SDCBRepublican 11mos11MO
I'm less concerned to what state gets the tax and more concerned that the product is only taxed once, to not at all. But if brick and mortar are taxed then online retailers should be taxed as well. Taxes for none or all, but only once.
Abolish income taxes, replace with an income tax
Deleted11mos11MO
No, the government should impose a federal sales tax since the sales are crossing state lines
Deleted11mos11MO
No, the federal government should charge a federal sales tax on out of state online sales that cannot be charged a local state tax
@8RQ55J411mos11MO
No, Abolish the Sale Tax
@9CLXY3512mos12MO
Replace all taxes with a 1% federal import tax and 2% salt
@9CKXJKD12mos12MO
No, instead have one set tax for every state
@9CCHQTW1yr1Y
No but this is an individual state issue
@9CCHQTW1yr1Y
No but thhis is an individual state issue
@9CCHQTW1yr1Y
This is an individual state issue
@9CBJG5X1yr1Y
Yes, there are plenty of extra fees online such as shipping that balance the prices with brick and mortar stores.
@9C8JZJR1yr1Y
Make a universal sales tax
@9BXCHQB1yr1Y
No. Many taxes are roberry. Especially ifit is all within the US there should not be a further tax.
@9BTKHW31yr1Y
Yes, because the people in the state are spending money still within the state.
@9BL5T9S1yr1Y
No, but if it’s between states, it falls under federal jurisdiction.
Yes, rate should based on the buyers shipping address.
