Where I live the normal taxation for online sales was if the seller had a physical presence in the state they are required to collect the tax. Amazon did not and the legislature whined like a child until Amazon relented and started collecting tax for them.
On a second note the stat has a tax, the city has a tax the town where my POBox is has a tax and even though I don’t live in the town ( or even the same county) where my P.O. box is I get charged a higher tax. This was actually a new discovery. When I recently bought a Mac Mini I tried to send it to my POBox and then found out Apple would send it that way. Since UPS and Fedex won’t deliver to my house I decided to send it to my work and ended up saving 1% tax and getting it sooner because the cities tax rate is l as than the town that I don’t actually live in charges.
