As far as I can see that is being done already under the current tax system, and does not represent a significant change where the NRST is concerned.
The threshold for folks to attain and continue the use of that certification is actual sales for which the NRST is being collected and remitted by the business.
Too little NRST flowing from a "business" with large claims of input purchases is one big red flag for an audit to assure the integrity of those claims.
If one want to avoid paying the NRST on something like a computer it would be far less risk involved to just go buy a used one with no NRST in the first place, same is true of many such items that are targets for abuse.
When all is said and done, I see no reason to believe there will be any increase of such evasions beyond what already exists and is accounted for in the NRST rate.

Geez, you really are ancient. Robertpausen is smart enough to buy a new "white box" PC from a "wholesaler," (his cousin who only sells to family).
