A Burdensome Plan

The real issue here is the burden on remote sellers. There currently are about 7,600 sales tax jurisdictions in the United States, including states, counties, municipalities, and even sewer districts, sports arena districts and library districts, according to The Direct Marketing Association. That’s an awful lot of taxes for you, a remote seller, to track and pay. Just thinking about the paperwork and cost involved in such compliance makes my head hurt.
