Taxing of Internet Purchases

[Frikitiki]

In Hawaii the legislature attempted to do this two years ago. amazon cut ties before it was even a law. In Hawaii we also have a tax called a USE TAX. If I bring something into Hawaii, I'm supposed to pay a 4% tax to the State of Hawaii. They already have a law on the books, but they don't enforce it (unless you buy a car on the mainland and have it shipped in). Instead of trying to enforce the law on the citizens, they are trying to cut down the number of touchpoints and force the businesses to collect the money making their job easier.
