If they start charging tax for online purchases, I may stop buying as much online.
States, like Georgia, are going to begin charging tax for online purchases..even from out of state sites. Do you support this?

The online exemption is basically unfair to brick and mortar stores. I admit that I am one that buys online to avoid taxes. As taxes become more common, they will be a factor in whether to buy online.
The things I get from EF - I will continue to buy online - other items I mat opt for the local option.

If I'm buying out of state, why would I pay my state taxes? I would rather buy in person and skip the shipping plus tax plus whatever.

Do you think this is fair, and will it change how you shop?

In short...
Stores are only required to charge sales tax for online purchases in a state if they have a physical presence in that state: a Macy’s store at Lenox Square, ... more

Georgia has expanded its definition of a “physical presence” to get more online stores to collect sales tax from their customers.
Beginning last week, that included companies that use warehouses or offices in the state, whether they own them or not. At the end of the year, it will also include companies that have click-through ads on Georgia-based websites, known as affiliate relationships.
Does that make sense? less

No, I think online purchases should remain mostly tax free.

It's unlikely. If you're a Georgia resident and you order from EF, you're already paying state tax.

EF does not operate nor ship out of any other states.
The law pretty much says if you shop online with Macy's and you live in the state of Georgia then you're going to pay state tax because Macy's has stores in Georgia.

Sales taxes are supposed to help the local government but I don't think this will help anyone, just make a giant headache for everyone involved...
