Supreme Court Sales Tax Ruling

[KFoster]

Alabama, at least, charges businesses a license fee based on sales and property tax based on whatever property is owned (got to pay or you don’t get to keep what you bought). So, if a business does really well and has a warehouse or vehicles or whatever, the state gets money. They also get money based on your overall sales as the license fee goes up with sales dollars. If you do business in the state, county, city, you pay taxes based on that to support what you are doing in that area. If you survive all that and make a profit you get to pay income taxes. So, no, they don’t deserve sales tax on anything outside their jurisdiction in my opinion. If a state is faltering because of high cost of living, squandering what funds they do get or just being poorly run, then to bad for them. They are already reimbursed for what little they provide so you can sale goods nationwide and they do get sales tax on what you sale in the state in addition to all the other license fees and taxes they collect from you. This is just another way for the rest of the country to support poorly run states and municipalities.
