Sales tax liability on a mail-order transaction is based on the tax law in effect at the purchaser's billing address, not the seller's location. If this agreement takes affect, participating companies will collect sales taxes based on location of the purchaser and distribute the revenues back to those states. But there's a way around it. Orders from an out-of-state company shipped for delivery to a third state could avoid tax collection by the vendor (assuming the seller has no stores in that third state). Just a clarification, for your next Leica order. Bill Welch
