I am copying an email that I received from a marketplace for sellers who sell on the internet. It is informative on this subject. I have left out any mention of the site’s name since I am posting this on Bonanza.

Their email is more professionally well-written compared to a previous thread that was started up on this last week and so I wanted to share.

I should mention here that just because the Supreme Court ruled in favor of online internet sales tax, it does not mean it has gone through Congress yet. Calling and emailing your Congressman on this subject is a good thing to do at this point. It is almost most definite that this will go through since it is the Supreme Court that did the ruling, at least in some form.

Let Congress know that this would be an unfair burden on small businesses.

(This is separate from what is already in place, which is that sales tax we collect for our own state is supposed to be turned into our state).

“Last week the U.S. Supreme Court issued its ruling in the Internet sales tax case of South Dakota v. Wayfair, removing the requirement that any retailer, even a larger one, have a physical presence in a state in order for that state to impose sales and use tax obligations on that retailer. The Court’s decision states that the South Dakota law “applies only to sellers who engage in a significant quantity of business in the State, and respondents are large, national companies that undoubtedly maintain an extensive virtual presence.”

Our position is very clear – we firmly believe that if this ruling is applied to smaller retailers, it will harm the small businesses, entrepreneurs and artisans who use the Internet to make a living. Small businesses should be protected from new taxes, out-of-state audits and onerous collection burdens because they can least afford the added costs. xxxx also wants to protect buyers who choose to shop with smaller sellers online and would face increased prices due to the costs associated with having to comply with new and highly burdensome tax rules.

If you sell on xxxx, you may be wondering how this ruling affects you. At this point, there is nothing specific that you need to do. As always, if you have tax questions we recommend that you consult with your accountant or tax advisor.

We expect more developments and information on this subject in the coming months. In the meantime, we will aggressively press Congress to step in and provide clear tax rules with a robust small business exemption."
