‘US sales tax isn’t a deterrent to online sales: Report’ – Econsultancy
Patricio Robles says, “Years ago, many online retailers, including Amazon, found themselves battling states that sought to force them to collect sales tax even if they didn’t have a physical presence in those states.
The logic behind retailers’ aversion to collecting sales tax wasn’t hard to understand: if given a choice between two retailers, one charging sales tax and one not, many consumers would probably choose the former.
Fast forward to 2016. Half of online shoppers are now paying sales tax and nearly half indicate that they either don’t consider sales tax in deciding which retailer to purchase from, or don’t consider it highly”.
