The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that states can collect state sales taxes from online retailers on consumer purchases. The decision overruled a decades-old precedent that had protected out-of-state sellers from being required to collect such taxes. ... Copied to Clipboard!

So question from someone in another country, what would that effect? I buy PSN gift cards on Amazon or other sites, and then games on PSN, neither have tax on them right now. I don't mind if tax is on the gift card, but I'd be annoyed if on PSN itself (since instead of getting a $20 card for a $20 game, I'd need $30 to cover the tax, rather than paying $20 + tax to get the card if it is on the sites with the gift card).
And I'd be really annoyed if they tax the card and the game. --- I'm not lazy, I just don't care http://backloggery.com/DeltaBladeXNZ - https://steamcommunity.com/id/DeltaBladeX ... Copied to Clipboard!

I've been paying use tax for the past three or four years on untaxed products (i.e. Steam games, music/movie downloads, etc.) so this change will make doing taxes easier for me as I would no longer need to do the calculation myself.
TheOrangeMisfit posted... Probably good in the long, Amazon and bezos are greedy fucks I would say the fault lies with the customers and not the vendors. The vendors probably did what they could that was within legal boundaries and left it to their customers to later pay taxes on untaxed product. If states were losing revenue because of unpaid taxes, the fault lies with the customer in my opinion. I recall some folks were complaining when Amazon and some online vendors started to charge taxes for customers in California. Seems like a damn if you do, damn if you don't situation for some online vendors. --- "You must gather your party before venturing forth" "Go for the eyes Boo! Go for the eyes!" ...

So if it happens with me, I won't get double taxed at least, but I would need higher cards since the PSN purchase would be taxed. -_- --- I'm not lazy, I just don't care http://backloggery.com/DeltaBladeXNZ - https://steamcommunity.com/id/DeltaBladeX ...

On one hand, it's probably for the best that states are getting that sales tax. On the other, fuck taxes. CT already charges out the ass in every other form of tax.

Technically the collection of taxes has *always* been the vendor's responsibility although they weren't always legally forced to do so. --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ...

Meh. Maybe 10% of my online purchases in the past year weren't taxed, and that was mostly clothing, anyway.
