You know how if you live in most states in the US you don't have to pay sales tax on items purchased online? Yeah, that's about to change for about 19 million residents of New York State. Legislators have approved a bill that requires large online stores to collect sales tax for anything shipped to New York.
Technically, the tax isn't new. Consumers were supposed to be reporting these purchases on their tax returns all along, but nobody really does. The law just passes the burden from consumers to retailers.
New York today, maybe my state tomorrow ..............
I'm sure we can all count on that eventually.... But it seems to me the collection and record keeping costs could far out weigh the benefits.... But I guess politicians believe if they leave us with no net pay, they've done their jobs
