The Marketplace Fairness Act would allow state governments to collect sales taxes from online retailers who do not have a physical location in their state and have revenues of over $1 Million per year. Online retailers would be responsible for collecting the taxes and distributing them to state and local governments. Proponents of the bill include brick and mortar retailers who argue that exempting online retailers from sales taxes penalizes traditional stores who are forced to charge customers higher prices due to cover the tax. Opponents argue that since online retailers do not use local services funded by sales taxes they should be exempt and that the federal government should not get involved in state tax issues.

Make an online or multi-state tax
@8CCDF235yrs5Y
No, but the federal government should come up with its own federal sales tax rate for interstate commerce
@85QWNPG5yrs5Y
No, reform all sales tax to a yearly charged VAT on corporations total sales, the buyers will already pay a yearly income tax in this reformation, making the system clean and efficient.
