Make an online purchase from a bigbox store like Wallyworld or Bestbuy and you damn well will have your state sales tax added to the final price.This has nothing to do with whether that retailer has a store in your state,it has everything to with complying to the tax laws of that state.

And as more and more states are requiring you to pay sales tax on out of state internet purchases many retailers are being pro-active and adding the state sales tax to the checkout.This of course only applies to states that have a sales tax.

RI has required sales tax on all out of state online purchases for years as do most states with a sales tax.Enforcing is another story altogether,but people here in RI have been arrested for this.

MA state law requires a brick & mortar store for the retailer to have to charge sales tax.
Sorry your state sucks.

Yup it does,but I'd still much rather live in RI.

MA won't be far behind in its tax reforms,don't forget who you're guvna is and that he's a spender.Barney Frank and Tedward are entrenched and those two yahoos love spending money that ain't theirs on really lame crap.

And with people like Dianna Wilkerson and the like,Mass ain't no paradise.Ya'll are fast approaching and possibly surpassing RI and IL as one of the most corrupt states.

Taxes and lots of them are on the horizon for MA.Enjoy you're very temporary no tax on int. sales.

It will be Taxachussetts very soon.

I'm pretty sure its always been nicknamed taxachussetts, but what would you know, you're from our butthole.

Shouldn't you be a bit more worried about your own state economy?

Who knows whats going on at TPI.

Spence, I've never met you but for some reason I think of you when I watch this video.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

If I'm the butthole than you are definitely the toilet paper.My only response to such lameness is "wipe me".How typical not to quote my refs to Barney,Ted and Deval.You quote only what you blindy see.Everything Mass does affects what happens in RI,except a good wiping when all is said and done.

Its time to clean house everywhere.

And please stop with the sailing refs.Don't forget who I work for.You do this way to much.

Nope, you've never told me who you work for.
But I have a feeling you're sweating.
