Knock It Off With The Sales Tax Fraud
You know, Amazon is NOT required to collect sales tax on all sales. They aren’t. They run a Mall, with multiple vendors, who come from all over. THOSE vendors are responsible for the sales tax, and Amazon isn’t even legally responsible to give them an interface where they can collect it.
So when I shop at Amazon, I am defrauded if the ACTUAL SELLER is not located in Utah (where I live). Because Amazon does not have outlets here. And the Seller (who is either Amazon, NOT HERE, or another seller, RARELY HERE) is almost NEVER required to pay sales tax on MY purchase (pass through tax, remember?).
So when I order from Amazon, I am being defrauded 99% of the time.
It is now much worse than that.
Woolery.com charges me sales tax. For a business in another state. They tell me they are required to do so. They are lying.
The Commerce clause in the Constitution PREVENTS one state from collecting sales tax on sales outside their own state. Internet sales are judged by the Supreme court as having taken place in the ORIGINATING STATE for the seller, not the buyer.
No sales tax due. Not ever. But SO MANY businesses are doing this.
In fact, if you charge sales tax on all sales on your website, you are committing Treason. Yeah. Legal definition is broader than just trying to bring down the government. If you violate the Constitutional rights of people on a large scale, it is Treason.
What we find though, is that NO STATE tells people they have to do that. When sellers charge sales tax on out of state sales, it is ALWAYS fraud. They pocket it, and smile.
And you pay a dishonest merchant to commit Treason.
Sadly, some of my favorite vendors are falling prey to this.
It is also a favorite scam within corporations. Someone sets it up. Someone OTHER than the corporation collects the money, siphons off the excess sales tax. But make no mistake, THAT corporation is still on the hook legally, because the fraudulent funds are being paid TO THEM.
Yeah. I’m ranting. But it’s still a major problem, and my legal info here is still true.
No, I’m not a lawyer. If you don’t like what I said, go hire someone. Go study the Constitution yourself.
