We value our relationship with you and all of our New York customers. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this change in New York law and assure you that we will continue to work hard to offer you the best prices, fastest shipping and award winning customer service you deserve."

Been happening in the UK for years. VAT is added to all purchases on the net.

Value added tax.
It's different depending on the country. In Estonia it's 18% of the good's value. Whole price = value + VAT

Actually it's more complex than that Mort. I don't know about NL but here it gets you scratching your head at times on how they work it out. I mean theres been a recent court case with Jaffa Cakes.
| Quote: | Under UK law, no VAT is charged on biscuits and cakes — they are "zero rated". Chocolate covered biscuits, however, are subject to VAT at 17.5%. McVities classed its Jaffa Cakes as cakes, but in 1991, this was challenged by Her Majesty's Customs and Excise and the case ended up before the courts.[6] This may have been because Jaffa Cakes are about the same size and shape as some types of biscuit. A question that the court asked itself was "what criteria should be used to class something as a cake?"
McVities defended its classification of Jaffa Cakes as cakes. In doing so it produced a giant Jaffa Cake to illustrate that its Jaffa Cakes were simply mini cakes.
McVities argued that a distinction between cakes and biscuits is, inter alia, that biscuits would normally be expected to go soft when stale, whereas cakes would normally be expected to go hard. It was demonstrated to the Tribunal that Jaffa Cakes become hard when stale. Other factors taken into account by the Chairman, Mr Potter QC, included: name, ingredients, texture, size, packaging, marketing, presentation, appeal to children, and manufacturing process. Contrary to a commonly held belief, whether something is considered a 'luxury item' is not a test for VAT purposes.
Mr Potter ruled that the Jaffa Cake is a cake. McVities therefore won the case and VAT is not paid on Jaffa Cakes. |
Weird isn't it.

Yeah, the one % won't save the queen, but the fact that there are two rates made the correction useful.

You are supposed to report out of state purchases on your taxes, and pay the sales tax, but of course there's no good way of them checking it so no one does.
I hope they dont start doing it in other states.

The way we are overly taxed today would have lead to a blood bath of a revolt from our ancestors. Either we all became little bitches to our governments or we have become so civilized against violent acts that we refuse to use the only method that seems to work against it.
