or pass a law that says the transactions occur in the state in which the company resides. then companies could just be responsible for the sales tax owed to the state they reside in just like physical retailers. i would have to collect the Oregon state tax from whomever visited my store- be they from in state, out of state or even out of country- and consumers could decide where they want to shop.
