Amazon.com will begin collecting taxes in Massachusetts, Governor Deval Patrick says - Boston.com "Amazon.com, the huge online retailer, will begin collecting Massachusetts sales tax on purchases made by Bay State customers, starting next fall, Governor Deval Patrick’s office said Tuesday."
It will cost, but it's only fair. More fair would be if all online retailers paid sales tax. Though I'm not sure how that should work. Where the products ship to was my first thought but that fails for buying services and is a little odd for gifts. Address of the buyer makes more sense, though I could then see a nice industry of credit cards with addresses that are PO Boxes on Caribbean islands. With online statements the street address registered with a credit card seems vestigial.
