Typically, you don't charge sales tax online unless you have a physical store that sells the items you're selling online. They have an address, but they only sell online. You can validate this by taking note that on Amazon you won't be charged sales tax unless the distribution center that you're item is coming from happens to be in the state you're in.

There is really nothing WRONG with charging sales tax, however; they aren't even registered as a business under " painted fender flares " , they aren't paying that sales tax to the texas comptroller nor do they appear to have a license under that name with the city of houston, or harris county. So yeah, they are charging sales tax, and basically pocketing an extra 40 bucks per sale.

Yes

In NY Amazon always charges sales tax, any online retailer is SUPPOSED to collect sales tax and pay it to NY. Of course only the larger online retailers do that.

Now I don’t know how it is in other states, but in NY, if you collect sales Tax and don’t pay it, it’s a pretty serious offense. If you are supposed to collect sales tax and don’t and you don’t pay it, that’s still bad but not as bad as collecting and not paying the state there share.

If this business is collecting NY sales tax and not paying the tax to NY, I wouldn’t be surprised if NY went after them.

yeah... no. That's not the same thing as this. They are taking sales tax, but are not a registered business in the state. The Spreme court merely said " you can take it because it benefits your state " . It's 100% not okay to take sales tax, then not pay the state. Texas is a franchise state. Meaning every small business has state franchise taxes, and even then, they only pay those if they generate more than 2 million dollars a year. Collecting sales tax on ALL states to pay texas taxes would be one thing, but the fact they don't have a license to pay ANYONE just means they pocket the cash. It's shady. Though, it happens all the time.

I.E when you purchase a phone from verizon for instance, then you get expedited shipping. They charge you taxes on the shipping itself.

Or when a small lawn service charges you taxes for mowing your lawn.

These aren't even taxable services, yet, they tax. They get to pocket more money in the same of uncle sam. It's the definition of a scam.
