“odd mix”
That’s because most folks don’t really know much about how taxes work across state lines. Only business owners and accountants do.
They don’t comprehend the can of worms they’ve opened here. This judgement was actually the purview of congress.
Think of it this way, they have just rendered null and void state laws indicating you must report online purchases to your home state, since the retailer must now collect it.
Or did they? If you buy something and the seller reports it, will the state then come after you for not reporting it? I wouldn’t be surprised....
This reminds me of a visit I had one day to the accounting department of a very large corporation.
In those days they had file cabinets, and in this case the file cabinets went down the wall for as far as you can see.
What was in the filing cabinets?
The state and local laws governing sales taxes.
I kid you not...
