You had to know it was going to happen sooner ot later. There’s nothing that the Government can’t resist getting a piece of eventually. With the huge amount of e-commerce going on every day, even a 2% or 3% tax is a gold mine for the Government coffers. I am really surprised that the Feds haven’t latched onto this yet, but I have no doubt they will eventually. If Wisconsin’s Ipod tax goes through you can bet that every state budget next year will contain a similar tax. Say goodbye to the good old days of tax free internet shopping!!!

Shoot - let’s just stick with the KISS principle - put a 3% tax on all domestic online orders, regardless of local tax rates, tax rates at origin, use taxes, etc. Payment of this tax would exempt you from any other sales and use taxes. Half the proceeds go to the sellers’ localities, half to the buyers’ localities.
