I disagree. Whatever the effect is supposed to be under current law, it will cause chaos to put this onus on internet sellers--at least the small to medium ones. You will not be able to simply buy a $50 software package that neatly calculates all applicable sales taxes, which I assume would or could be not only state but county and/or municipal sales tax. As pointed out in oral argument, some goods sold may be subject to different tax or no tax depending upon their classification, which might be subject to interpretation. Jurisdictions can pass special tax laws at all different times, meaning the software would need to be able to track changes nearly on the fly. Sellers in theory could also be subject to audit and the jurisdiction of far away authorities who believe they are being shorted.
