That said - it will take a year or two for the dust to settle and it will cost people to comply. But if you sell $1M/year and you can not afford a $1500 bump in expenses I would say your margins are too thin to survive. As far as remittance most
states allow you to do the monthly remittance online. I wrote a simple script for the sate of AZ so again, I think biger software companies can handle making it very simple for you. And again, if you are doing a mill in sales and you are not using some form of software that has active development you will have problems.<div style="">
What I am trying to say is the concept is not as daunting as it may sound. The problem is not in the concept, however the execution will be very painful. And this will cause a lot of problems for a lot of people.</div></div>

The regulations will be difficult at first but within a few years they will just tie the sales software into the tax software and it will be easy to calculate and deal with in real time with very little additional cost. The solution to competition is either use of an import tax or forcing compliance on any one who sells inside the us. And
our sales to the outside will not be effected because other countries are not doing this... So purchasing from the US if you happen to be in some non US company looks just the same. In all truth... Sales tax is more progressive then income tax, so.... I am not sure I have an issue with it more then the predefined statement that TAXES ARE TOO DAM HIGH!</div>

Any company with 1 million in sales will be required to comply. I can tell you that a company that has 1 million in sales is not a big company. That online retailer might consist of 2 or 3 employees with some additional help from a number of consultants and potentially a fulfillment center. <br>
<br>From first hand experience, I would say this law, if passed by the U.S. House, will cause a bunch of small online retailers to either go out of business or reduce sales through raising prices or some other
method. <br><br>This may very well play out like ObamaCare where companies are reducing the hours of their employees so they have less than 50 full-time employees. In other words we will experience the unintended consequences of these laws.<br>
