Colorado Stands Alone (Idiots)

There is a box on the IRS form for online purchases...
What IS the tax rate for mail order brides?

3.9% APR, then after she is payed off there is the tax the bride gets which is all your stuff and money when she leaves back to her country.

There used to be a internet tax only if the business had an outlet in that state. At least that's the way it was supposed to work. Big company's always charged internet tax when they had a store in your state.

There is already a tax on mail order and internet purchases, called the "Use Tax", which every Colorado taxpayer is liable to pay on items they purchased (by any means) from out of state, on which no sales tax was charged. Colorado Dept. of Revenue provides an online form for you to self-report your purchases, fill out the return, and remit your use tax payment.

The problem has always been one of enforcement... in the past it's been held that a state cannot force persons or businesses outside of their borders to act as tax collection agents, or even taxable sales reporters, so it's been entirely up to each taxpayer to report their out-of-state purchases, file the use tax return, and pay the use tax owed.

One big change is that regardless of where the order is taken/processed, if a business has a physical presence in a state/city, they are now forced to collect and remit sales tax on sales to residents of that taxing area...

This colorado bill is attempting to leverage the "physical presence" exception, by applying it to partner businesses, etc - so to avoid having to collect and remit colorado sales tax, Amazon is severing its partnerships with businesses having a physical presence in colorado.

Allright, understand now the problem with companies that have had retailers in Colorado, like Amazon.
But, what about for example Montana Gold bullets or other company that has not retailer(s) in CO ?

I guess they now have to charge tax. Don't know how colorado is going to collect. For my colorado company, I guess I have to start charging tax.

Fuck bitching fuck voting when do we take to ams I have had enough

The good thing about this is that it'll make it just a bit harder for Hickenduffus to get elected.

I've already decided if Hick wins and the dems are still in control of the legislature after this next election I'll be looking to leave Colofornia.

My wife and I have joked in the past that someday, when the great state of Texas leaves the union, we would be moving there. Seems less of a joke these days.

I like the idea of Texas ... but the humidity usually disabuses me of that notion.

Also I figure if Texas ever leaves the union, you better be a resident BEFORE that day ... 'cause if I was Texas I wouldn't let no damn 'mericans or messicans cross my border :p
