I'm an accountant & I mean NO ONE every reports there online purchases. JC I'd be !@#$ broke. I shop online to avoid paying sales tax. Then again I don't run a business, so I don't buy for re-sale. I do however, pay sales tax online if the store has a brick & mortar location within our state. IE..WalMart,Kmart,Kohls,Richs-Macys. Another example, I shop at HSN.com all the time, I pay no sales tax, however those living in FLA. do, as HSN's location is in Tampa. I also checked our tax package at work, which is CCH, the best there is..checked the Georgia forms & saw nothing like this added. Doesn't matter..NO ONE reports online purchases anyway. I know sales tax in Georgia has at least 100 counties in which most have different % rates...ranging from 4-8%...Plus, on our ST forms, if you ship out-of-state(being a merchant)no sales tax is charged to the consumer. I see no feasable means of doing this unless they come up with a standard tax rate for shopping online, with a standardized form.
