Proposition 100…solutions? questions? answers?
The citizens of the state of Arizona are being asked to approve a one cent sales tax next week in order to generate some additional revenue that is supposed to keep teachers employed and classrooms size to less than fifty kids.
Being the owner of a “Brick and Mortar” type business who also wants to generate sales on the internet, I was curious about your opinion on the taxing of sales of goods over the internet. On the surface, the idea that internet entrepreneurs are allowed to sell products and not have to charge sales tax to the end user does not seem fair. The owner of a physical store has costs associated with that store that the internet business owner does not have. This is fine in and of itself because of the free market, but the equation becomes distorted when one has to charge almost an additional 10% to their customer to finance the operation of the city and state in which his or her building exist.
In addition, five to six hours a month with a paid employee are dedicated to keeping in compliance with all of the demands of the city and state revenue departments.
I sincerely wish to vote for this proposed tax to support education. I don’t think there is anything more important than the education of a community’s children. But it seems somewhat unfair that my customers have to pay almost ten percent more for purchasing a product from my physical store as opposed to an internet store location. Business is tough enough without this additional burden being thrust upon a store owner.
It seems as if we could generate a lot of revenue by taxing the sale of goods over the internet. The internet is no longer than innocent child waiting to grow up and be a mature business. How about a level playing field?
Please let me know what you think. At some level we are all in this together, and we must try to solve some of these problems we face. I am interested in your solutions. Got any?

Great blog. I got a lot of great data. I’ve been keeping an eye on this technology for awhile. It’s intriguing how it keeps varying, yet some of the core factors remain the same.
I admit, I have not been on this webpage in a long time… however it was another joy to see It is such an important topic and ignored by so many, even professionals. I thank you to help making people more aware of possible issues.
I admire what you have done here. I like the part where you say you are doing this to give back but I would assume by all the comments that this is working for you as well.
