    Internet Sales Tax Case at the US Supreme Court

    Not expand it but if a state takes this information given to it and charges the tax to the individual citizen of that same state it is an end run around Quill and maybe constitutionally legitimate. That is why I mentioned how the Court talked about Colorado's tax plan and the justice's "seemed"...

    Former First Lady Barbara Bush Passes Away at 92

    It's easy to keep civil......she was like everyone's grandma. Great lady, champion for literacy, graceful, self deprecating; you always got the sense she cared deeply for her fellow man. The world is lesser with her passing. RIP

    Internet Sales Tax Case at the US Supreme Court

    South Dakota tried to maintain that wouldn't happen as the software would be cheap, the defense disagreed and pointed out a dozen errors in the software that South Dakota proposed to use.

    Internet Sales Tax Case at the US Supreme Court

    At this point Amazon basically has warehouses everywhere so they have to pay the internet tax anyway. Part of the Quill decision was if businesses had a physical presence in the state they had to pay that area's tax on sales there. The issue is do small sellers who have no physical presence in...

    Internet Sales Tax Case at the US Supreme Court

    There is some question about that but the state of Washington has been successful in stopping some internet tobacco sales. Where there is a government in need of tax dollars they usually find a way......

    Internet Sales Tax Case at the US Supreme Court

    The Court seems okay with a state asking for that sales information but doesn't say anything about enforcement of it. Since it is across state lines it would be a federal case I believe. The Court didn't say anything about enforcement because they would have to see a case to be able to rule on...

    Internet Sales Tax Case at the US Supreme Court

    Oral arguments were this morning and the transcript is at: transcript A quick armchair quarterback take on this is nothing will change. It appears, in my opinion, the justices believe it is up to Congress to settle this issue. A lot of concern about overturning the Quill decision opening the...

    Who Holds The Record?

    V: Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has...

    Spring? What Is This Thing You Speak Of?

    Minnesota, this is the first "real" winter that we have had in awhile so it seems worse than it is. We've had a snow storm every week for the last 4 weeks. It's enough to make one have fond thoughts of mowing grass. All the roads in the area are closed now so just sitting back with a pipe and...

Making a big kettle of ham and potato soup with some cornbread. Going to be a great weekend with book and...

    The (Pennsylvania) Tax Man Cometh

    In the decision on this in the 1990s the court sided with business saying it was too hard/impossible to have a business charge the correct sales tax rates set by 50 different states not to mention municipalities. With the growth of technology this has changed; Amazon has proved this over the...
