At one point -- before 20...Very interesting case. <br /><br />At one point -- before 2005, I think -- everything purchased online won't be charged a sales tax due to a federal provision. <br /><br />Over time, states are able to enforce a companion use tax with lots of online purchases, because companies with "physical presence" in one state will be required to collect sales tax by destinations. <br /><br />The CA example raises the issue about whether website servers should be considered a physical presence. A nationwide standard treatment would be preferred to minimize related business relocations.Zhirong (Jerry) Zhaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07073293673519003452noreply@blogger.com
