There was a brief period when Amazon was adding OK sales tax, they charged state, county and city sales tax based on the city in my address even though I'm not in city jurisdiction and should not be subject to city sales taxes.
I inquired to Amazon but received no reply.
If it goes that way again it will become an issue.
I wondered about that local (municipal, township, etc.) tax, too. Would not the same Court logic apply there?
Too Also, the extra costs are not limited to the mere dollar amount of taxes, since the administration of
assessing and disbursing the taxes to the local or state tax people would be rather large. (We've got several little townies and cities around here, e.g. Lakeside and Mountain View). And guess who would end up paying for that, pray tell, even though it was a hidden cost, like Amazon paying for the electricity to run its machines.
All in all, it kinda looks like it could be a real snake pit sooner or later, probably sooner.Maybe it's time for all of us to apply for non-profit status to avoid any sales tax. :D
