Sales Tax online? grrrrrr

Here in the UK there is a nationwide sales tax of 20% on the majority of items. Food, books and a few other items are exempt. This payable on-line or in shops and stores.

Tax avoidance is encouraged.
Tax evasion is illegal.
Do you have inside information that President Trump is guilty of tax evasion? Or he booked every deduction his business was authorized to do so by laws created and passed by the congress. I'll wager you took deductions on your federal/state income tax.

What they are doing is basically giving you a discount equal to the sales tax in your state.
I agree who needs another CC . My local camera store will now match the price and “ eat” the sales tax
All that being said I do like Adorama and B&H and their huge inventories and customer service.

I also agree with the comment that paying the tax is not a big deal unless you are the crazy guy in the White House

I only mentioned use tax because it was in the name of the law when it was passed. Really insignificant...

If you have a loss, the money that you previously earned is gone. Nothing there, what is to tax? So many people in America are clueless about finances.

Seems due to a new law companies are now required to charge sales tax on online purchases for out of state buyers. Anyone know of ways to skirt that? B&H is offering a credit card that pays your sales tax for you but I'm leery about getting another card online because of the personal information you have to give up, possible hidden fees etc. Also I need another CC like a hole in the head.
Free ride is over, playing field is leveled. The internet sellers now have to do what the brick-n-mortar sellers do, and we should all do, pay appropriate taxes (for your state of residence) if charged. Credit cards have always involved total cost of transaction (product, shipping, tax, any other legitimate fee involved in the purchase) that I recall/or posses.

I view sales tax just like shipping costs. Add all of it to the selling price to get the TRUE selling price. Then I usually find that my local store in D (no sales tax) is about the same.

What new software is required? B&H collects the tax from you, pays the appropriate tax required and gives you an instant credit on their store credit card. Not that complicated for any of the parties unless you don't care to apply for the card.
There are 50 states in the country at last count and each has their own laws in place. In order for them to collect and pay the tax you owe, the store/business needs to keep track of all the sales tax laws for each state - and in some cases Like PA, individual counties. Software is needed to track those tax requirements and maintain them as current.
Then there is the required EFT's for the actual payments and all the audit processes for reporting purposes. There is no way a company like Amazon or B&H can handle that without the appropriate software as part of their payment processing system. Prior to the Supreme Court ruling, companies only had to concern themselves with the states where they had a physical sales location or administrative office. The consumer was responsible for paying the sales tax.
