It seems to me that since States will be collecting taxes on out-of-state businesses, those same “foreign” companies should be able to require those same states to provide the services afforded all in-state brick-and-mortar businesses
That would presumably be unconstitutional.
No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State.U.S. Const., Art.1, Sec. 9, Cl. 5.
And will us foreign companies be required to register in the state? I was required to in Alaska last year—state contract. Waste of money, cut into my limited profit. And creates filing burden. I also had a California contract and they took the money out of the state issued payment! Now I am forced to file to get that withholding back, because the services were not taxable but I have to prove I am a foreign company not subject to the tax filing. It is nearly $4,000 so worth filing, but at what cost. How many companies just ignore it?
