I haven't ordered from SP in a long time. I decided to place a order only to find out about the tax disclosure that I needed to agree to before ordering. It appears they send in a tax report to the feds on every purchase and hold the customer resposible to report and pay the tax? WTF ?

Colorado State Sales Tax
As of July 1, 2017, all online retailers, including Smokingpipes.com, are legally obligated to report taxable purchases to the state of Colorado. Accordingly, we're required to inform you of the following:
(1) Smokingpipes.com does not collect Colorado Sales or Use Tax;
(2) This purchase is not exempt from Colorado sales or use tax merely because it is made over the internet or by other remote means; and
(3) the State of Colorado requires that a Colorado purchaser (a) file a sales or use tax return at the end of the year reporting all the taxable purchases that were not taxed and (b) pay tax on those purchases.
What does this mean for you? At the end of the year, we'll only submit to the Colorado Department of Revenue the four pieces of information that they've required us to report: customer name, customer billing address, customer shipping address, and the total dollar amount of Colorado purchases made by each customer during the previous calendar year.
Here's what we won't report: details about what you've ordered. We pipe smokers can be a private lot, so don't worry--we'll keep the details about what you've ordered just between us. And in order to help you Coloradans satisfy your obligations to the state, we'll be providing you with an end of year summary as well.
As always, if you have questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to give us a call at 888-366-0345 or to write to us at info@smokingpipes.com.
