right. which is why I think it should be clarified by federal statute for businesses BUT I think it should be left the way it is now and in the case of on line businesses it should be clear the transaction takes place where the business people reside.
A shipping location should not be a reason to collect a sales tax. because then you might fall into the trouble of having physical stores which have to collect a sales tax from another state because they have fulfillment space there. that wouldn't make sense.
Today i don't charge you a sales tax because the item is here in my store in Oregon but I have to charge the next person Washington sales tax because I have run out of the item in the store and I will ship it from my Washington warehouse.
