You are wrong, Amazon Direct (sold by) charges me MI sales tax but some of their marketplace sellers do tax but most don't. So, I have to compute what Use Taxes are due.
On top of that; sales of food, nutritional supplements and books are exempt from Use Tax in this state -- I actually have to sort that crap out for my tax returns.
I assume they have some legal nexus in this state or just agree to be the sales tax collector for the state. I am not going to risk a state tax audit over a small amount of money ... render onto Caesar ...
I just lose more money in time and aggravation figuring the crap out than the tax liability itself -- 30% of my purchases from Amazon are exempt. Amazon has a CSV dump of your orders but the marketplace sellers' information is in the wrong fields and in some cases incomplete.
Anyway WTF is an Internet Tax?
That was my point -- what a ignorant Twitter rant ...
