All this granular detail on nexus and localities is irrelevant. If you live in a state with a sales tax, you also live in a state with a use tax. The only difference is the mechanics: the seller collects a sales tax from you, versus you having to track, declare and remit a use tax. Either way you are supposed to pay it. I hardly have to remit any sales tax because my main selling venue is eBay and they collect the taxes on my sales, but I have to track my PC purchases and declare and remit the use tax. Whatever I pay then becomes part of my cost basis in the item. The main difference is that most people who do not have a resale permit simply ignore the use tax. Those folks are the ones aggrieved at having to 'suddenly' pay the sales tax. It is a completely incorrect analysis. Effectively, they are foaming at the mouth at going from tax cheats to taxpayers. Since I do pay my taxes, I am happy they no longer get a 10% advantage in bidding against me.
