Local Merchants Want Online Retailers to Collect Sales Tax

A group of local business owners is calling on Virginia’s Congressional delegation to support the Federal Marketplace Equity Act.

I voluntarily processes sales tax for those states Nexus is established in and for SSUTA states that have already made it much, much simpler for me to so. It’s actually easier for me to process sales tax already due for thousands of jurisdictions in dozens of states than it is to deal with processing shipping top over 40,000 different zip codes.

I am grateful to be enabled by freely available modern technology to efficiently remit my customers’ honorable sales tax contributions back to their taxing jurisdictions. I am grateful because those contributions provide jurisdictions the ability to fund vital and necessary police, services and infrastructure. Police, services and infrastructure ensuring my out of state goods arrive on customers’ doorsteps efficiently, affordably and safely.

For me, collecting and remitting sales tax already due translates to healthy vibrant communities representing stronger market opportunities for every business. I believe this simple and efficient process when understood will be unanimously accepted and embraced by every business owner seeking greater efficiency and profits.
