A Burdensome Plan

Of course, SSTA is supposed to streamline the compliance process by, for example, requiring states to supply merchants with free software to assist the collection and remittance processes. Fair enough.

But what about other burdens remote sellers would take on, for example, training contact center reps to explain the new tax charges to customers? And for customers who pay by check (mostly senior citizens), how would you organize your printed order forms to reflect 7,600 different taxes that buyers would have to look up to determine which to include in their payments? Would you have to print a separate order form for each customer? Think about that printing bill for a moment.
