Washington State/County/City Organizations pay tax.....

WA is pushing all internet businesses to collect tax on sales to WA addresses........... Of couse that will drive you all crazy because every city has a different tax rate depending on what bridge, light rail, or feyy system is being suplemented bt the local tax base. So maybe they will go for a flat "internet tax" rate.........

Mark,

That's Washington based internet businesses, correct?

No...Nation wide.

Just had a case where a gentleman was buying cigareettes on-line...out of state.. they (the state) handed him a bill for something like $8,000 + in taxes that were due. They are expanding this effort to recover lost revenue on all internet purchases........

Gov. Chris Gregoire has signed a measure that encourages Internet and catalog companies to collect and send the state sales taxes on purchases made by Washington residents.

"This is absolutely about tax fairness to the businesses of the state of Washington," Gregoire said as she signed the bill into law Thursday.

Washington will join 21 other states that have passed legislation to become members of the Streamlined Sales Tax Project.

Small world. Heritage Village is in Southbury, correct? Spent the summer of 67 varnishing doors in the condo's. Got stoned on the fumes by 9am every morning. No wonder my brain is the way it is!!

I understand, the population here in the Flathead County is growing tremendously and the rest of the state isn't far behind.

Soon the state will be over one million in population, not bad for the 3rd or 4th largest state! ;-)
