No, the federal government does not have the authority to impose state and local taxes

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...8yrs8Y

No

 @9FP6T93Democrat from New York agreed…6mos6MO

I tell them that paying sales tax will help the government gain more support for the United States of America.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...8yrs8Y

Yes, exempting online retailers from sales taxes is not fair to traditional stores

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...8yrs8Y

Yes

 @9FNY3KM  from Ohio disagreed…6mos6MO

we shouldnt have taxes for something bought online because we already pay for shipping and the product

 @9FQL3ZN from Illinois agreed…6mos6MO

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.

 @9FP6T93Democrat from New York disagreed…6mos6MO

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.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...7yrs7Y

No, customers should pay the sales tax from the seller’s state

 @8JCJLWVUnity from Texas answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, some version of this is probably appropriate. As always, more thought is needed.

 @9JG4WJJSocialist from Alabama answered…2mos2MO

No, online purchases should not be subject to local or state taxes and should instead be subject to a flat nationalized online sales tax

 @9J6RN5H from Tennessee answered…2mos2MO

No and we should do away with smaller taxes proposed by states. Their needs to be a consumption tax instead of an income tax, and it all is processed at a federal level and redistributed to states in a percentage that is consistent with the percentage of purchases within the states.

 @9HSK5NS from Florida answered…3mos3MO

No, as the seller collecting the tax has no voice in the state's legislature, and this adds needless complications for small business.

 @8F3V4P3 from Tennessee answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, the business should be responsible for paying the sales tax of both states. How the business acquires that money should be transparent, but up to the business.

 @8DZJFN2 from Oklahoma answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but big corporations should pay taxes. small local shops are fine

 @8DWQX9TLibertarian from Georgia answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, since the technology now exists to make the process simple and low cost.

 @8DRS2ZWProgressive from New Jersey answered…4yrs4Y

Pay sales tax of your own state if there’s a physical entity of the store in your state

 @8DQ4N8H from Indiana answered…4yrs4Y

 @8DMQGXW from Kansas answered…4yrs4Y

No, the tax should be on the seller, not the buyer, and it should be illegal to not include taxes in the listed price.

 @8DGXMV8 from Missouri answered…4yrs4Y

A federa sales tax should be made specifically for online transactions

 @8DDTN44Republican from California answered…4yrs4Y

 @8DC32BV from New York answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but a federal payment system should be made so tax time is not hard. (Not need a account for all 50 states to sell)

 @8DBPZJQ from Oregon answered…4yrs4Y

Sales tax should be paid by the transaction. If Illinois is selling to Oregon, the Oregon resident should never pay since they do not have state sales tax, but the seller may have to pay Illinois tax if their laws say that they need to.

 @8DBPBF5 from North Carolina answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but there needs to be a single tax rate for online purchases. As it is, every state and municipality can require a different tax rate, which is a nightmare to track.

 @8D5KYYS from Tennessee answered…4yrs4Y

 @8D4YK9V from Florida answered…4yrs4Y

 @8D499HR from Oregon answered…4yrs4Y

No, but individual states should be able to regulate how they handle online purchases.

 @8D47BCY from Utah answered…4yrs4Y

 @8CZQBB4 from North Carolina answered…4yrs4Y

Instead of having to pay a different sales tax potentially to each municipality in the country, there should be a uniform national sales tax for online purchases. It discriminates against small businesses online don't have the resources to cover all the variations.

Sales taxes sould be eliminated and replaced with a value added tax.

 @8CML2N3Libertarian from Indiana answered…4yrs4Y

 @8CM5XPKLibertarian from Wisconsin answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but as a Federal Sales Tax and redistribute 80% of collected takes proportionally between the selling and buying state, keeping 20% for the Federal Government.
