Most states have zero service industry tax.
Very governmental of you to say how much anybody else’s business in not inconvenienced by collecting the government’s money which they are forcing into my custody.
It is a HUGE inconvenience and a HUGE annoyance. It is a liability exposure that is unwanted and unwelcome.
Have you ever seen POS software ?
I use it in my businesses, as do most who run cash registers.
Three clicks with a mouse and I have my sales tax accounting completed in less than 5 minutes.
Add in 10 minutes to file it electronically, and that’s the sum total of my time every month to be in compliance.
Ooooohhhh, THAT was tough.
Do I like collecting/paying it ? No, but you wildly exaggerate the burden on a business.
