Iternet Sales Tax

Recommended Posts

Only businesses that meet one of the following criteria have to collect internet sales tax:

Have a physical presence in this state, like Amazon, they have warehouses everywhere.  But anything counts, from a port-a-pot on up.  It doesn't have to part of the business that actually deals with the merchandise.

Have an annual in-state revenue of $100,000 or more.

Complete 200 in-state transactions.

So not all businesses, but most of them will meet one of these.

Reminds me of back in the day when people would order cartons of smokes from the tribes at half or less of the NJ retail.  Then they sued the tribes for billing records of customers here and sent out tax bills in the hundreds or thousands.  Surprise!

Meanwhile, a few of the smokers working in S. Jersey would drive down to DE on the lunch hour and stock up in cash. I cannot recall the names.

Since then, DE realized the game and bumped their rate to match NJ and PA, so they cost the same no matter which side of the bridge you are on.

But on sales tax for regular purchases, wasn't it Christie who raised the gas tax in return for a meager reduction on goods taxes and then the financial wiz Corzine backed out on the goods tax?  Or do I have them reversed?

CC agreed to the gas tax increase in exchange for a reduction in sales tax, which will go back up, and the estate tax.  Only 18 states have a death tax and at the time only NJ and MD had both estate and inheritance.  NJ only has one right now but I’m sure that will be restored.
