I was wondering what everyone thinks as to whether internet sales should be charged sales tax?
I think we already taxed to death so this is probably the first time I have ever said something should be taxed. Here is my example, let’s say I know a local golf shop. I want to sell you a set of irons for let’s say $1000, I have to add 7 percent sales tax so I have to charge you $1070. An internet golf shop does not have to charge you sales tax (they have to pay shipping of let’s says $20) so there price is $50 cheaper. How is a local shop suppose to compete in this situation.
The reason I pose this question is I hear often (myself included) how we wish we had more local golf shops. But if you think about it it’s really hard for a local shop to compete just on the sales tax issue alone.
