The bill now awaits consideration in the Senate. If a business has a physical presence in a state where a purchase is made, it must impose that state's sales tax on the purchase. So good so far, but that's just the beginning. But a simpler and longer lasting solution would be to standardize the laws. What is needed is a fundamental restructuring of sales and use taxes to simplify the system, reduce compliance costs on retailers and consumers, and prepare the sales tax for the more competitive, integrative national consumer economy in the 21st century.
State governments are on the case.
