The reason is no one else is reporting his income.
A_G:"It is easy to not report income when you are one individual hiding among 150million others,"
The IRS doesn't have any idea he owes money or how much he owes unless they do an audit.
random audits bring the odds to x in 150million as I said.
Just like no one else will be reporting collection of sales tax with a NRST.
Unhappy customers, rewards, and law enforcement stings. Any volume at all and you standout like a sorethumb.
The more you have to depend on others to stay quiet, the less secure you become.
A_G:"with any volume you have any number of nominal customers that can turn you in for a liability only you as the seller are subject to."
"Thanks for playing"
:"It is easy to not report income when you are one individual hiding among 150million others,"That's not my point. It's not easy to hide if someone else is reporting your income.
random audits bring the odds to x in 150million as I said.Except you are gutting the federal enforcement agency that does the random audits and not giving the states any incentive to pursue the federal sales tax. So it's 0 in 150 million odds.
