Have Attitudes About Online Sales Tax Changed?

Written by Krista Garcia Article from eMarketer In June 2018, the Supreme Court ruled that states could impose a sales tax on ecommerce goods, even if a retailer had no physical presence in a state. The South Dakota v. Wayfair case reversed an online retail practice that had been accepted as law since 1992.  Over the past few months, more than half of states in the US have enacted an online sales tax or will do so in 2019.  Local governments viewed online sales tax as a boon, brick-and-mortar retailers considered it leveling the playing field, while online retailers—many which already paid sales tax—predicted it would be detrimental.
