I'll still buy online. B&M will never compete on price with Amazon, et., al. Well.....almost never. Plus I get no ATT TI TUDE from my smart phone. Can't say that about businesses in Macon.

And Amazon has already been charging taxes for a while now.I'll still buy online. B&M will never compete on price with Amazon, et., al. Well.....almost never. Plus I get no ATT TI TUDE from my smart phone. Can't say that about businesses in Macon.
But...but...with fewer and fewer choices online won't that be better for local mom & pop shops? Can't they jam it to you now? LOL.And it's not just the 4% tax we will be paying. Every online retailer had to buy new software and hire new employees to comply with this new law. They have to know the tax rates and regs of all 50 states now. We will be paying that cost as well.
Now the big retailers will absord this cost with little set back. But the small businesses getting into the game will be hit hard making it even more difficult for them to compete.
I do sales now and am working on building a retail area in the shop. My main focus though will be running most my retail through a website and doing a lot of drop shipping though. Shopping from your smartphone is the future, this won't change that a bit. You can either follow the path of Amazon or the path of Toys-R-Us.
Small sighted is believing online shopping isn't the present reality and future.
In the meantime the price I pay for Cerakote, rubber gloves, filters, acetone and about 100 other things just went up 4%. Yay for small business.
then find a (local or international) WHOLESALER and buy your products there. you should NEVER pay tax on resale items and only use tax on shop use items...
dont you have a tax id number? when i order from my suppliers i dont pay sales tax,i am not the end user...yay!!!
heck, if you need rubber gloves, i can order them from my supplier and sell them to you tax free. i will just need a copy of your tax id and resale number..
wholesaler you know....
