willcousa, These things operate on a mutual basis. A state with zero sales tax will not play as they have no gain. If texas has sales taxes it will stand to gain the sales tax on all shipments from all other states in echange for giving those other states the ammunition to get taxes from shipments from Texas to those states. Dell will face a small shift since all corporate shipments to others states are already being caught by state audits of the corporations who are then assessed a use tax on all goods they get shipped in from other states. This will impact personal purchases. Bill

willcousa re: "texas may not make dell's sales data available..." texas has nothing to do with the collection of sales tax by other states. any state has the legal ability to go to any company, even if not incorporated in that state, and audit the books and demand payment of sales tax for product sales within their state. the only exclusion is for corporations / endusers with tax exempt, resale or direct pay permits. the ultimate responsibility is to the buyer of the item, but the collection procedure is mandated to the seller. it is an unwise game for a company the size of dell to be playing....their peers all collect sales tax.
