Things we can’t escape: death and taxes. Most states require that consumers report and pay taxes for purchases made online; in practice, of course, this is entirely unenforceable. Therefore state governments are starting to more effectively legislate processes (rules and laws) to recover millions of tax dollars to which they feel entitled. But! These laws and how they are enforced can be impossibly confusing to Internet retailers whose first order of business is not being able to keep up with constantly-changing tax requirements. With 11,000 different sales tax jurisdictions in the U.S. today, and businesses being asked to collect and report to more jurisdictions every month—it’s daunting and absurdly time-consuming.
