This is why I am glad I moved away from New York State, because it is tax-hungry.

New York is easily the MOST screwed up state in the union.

In Virgina, if an e-tailer doesn't charge taxes, some like Nike do, you are required to pay this on your income taxes after you figure in your underpayment or refund.

"I have to pay tax, and Amazon should pay tax, it's as simple as that," he says. "There's no reason for a difference."The difference is the U.S. Constitution empowers congress to tax interstate sales, not New York. Next stop: Federal court.

New York is easily the MOST screwed up state in the union. Not that I doubted you or anything, but this statement goes a long way in support of what you said.....IMO.
"They'll come in our store, look at our product, touch it, play with it, look at the warranties, then go back to the web and buy it tax free," says Nally.

New York is now telling Amazon and certain other large Internet-only vendors they must collect state and local sales tax -- if they allow sales via "click-throughs" from New York-based Web sites. I don't understand this bit. Can't I simply move my servers to New Jersey and circumvent this?

OK question, the article reads sales via "click-throughs" from New York-based Web sites. Does this mean that if I live outside NY, but use an internet provider in NY I will be charged a NY Sales Tax?
AOL just moved to NY, would this mean all AOL users would pay a NY tax for their purchases?

That’s not fair. But I have a simpler solution. New York stops charging sales tax, and cuts back services.

No matter where you moved, this tax will be instituted in your state, soon. Thanks, New York.

A company cannot be forced to collect sales tax outside of it's physical location. Pardon my ignorance, but I thought technically companies are only required to PAY sales tax, which they pass on to customers. Isn't a store free to forgo collecting sales tax as long as it still pays the state?

The state estimates this new Internet tax will bring in $50 million this year and $75 million next year. How about $75 million and $150 million losses? More likely.
What's that definition of insanity again?
