With a small seller, which tax gets charged? Does the sale happen where I am? Where they are?
If I buy something from a seller in NH, which has no sales tax do I pay the MA rate? And if I do, then as it probably works now, the seller gets the MA sales tax and has to file forms to pay it. And probably the forms to be allowed to collect it. Being in NH they probably won't do that, so they benefit by 6.25%
If I sell something to someone in NH, will I have to collect the 6.25% that I'll probably owe Mass?
What a miserable decision. The overhead alone of tracking what's owed to who will probably kill off most small sellers.
