In order to collect sales tax for a state, an entity must have a sales tax license for that state.That's interesting. I noticed that when I signed in and added items to the cart, B&H now add taxes for WA too. When I used my office address zip code in California, it didn't add tax.
Knowing California's love of collecting taxes, I suspect that's a glitch that'll be fixed or maybe somebody with tax knowledge can explain it here?
My thoughts too. For most items the tax really doesn’t make a huge difference, and if anything, I always try to buy local whenever possible.I really don't mind – I don't object to paying state tax. The court decision might help keep some local businesses open.

You may need to learn how to pay through other orifices, actually, use tax was always owed if sales tax was not collected.It has been highly dependent upon the aggressiveness of the Attorney General for each state. Our state has an Attorney General who has gone balls out for sales taxes, starting with Amazon. There are still unresolved legal challenges. For example, items sold on Amazon by a third-party seller through Amazon (including “Fulfilled by Amazon”) currently have no state sales tax added. I’m sure that this is just an interim state of affairs until the Attorney General catches up with Amazon’s third-party sellers.
B&H will eventually comply in each state because the Supreme Court has already ruled against online retailers on this issue.
So buy that IQ4-150 in California while you still can (without paying state sales tax). :ROTFL:

P.S. My only tax knowledge comes from paying through the nose. :banghead:
This is a good point. I would often go to my local camera store just to try out camera gear with no intention of buying from them.I really don't mind – I don't object to paying state tax. The court decision might help keep some local businesses open.
