Any tax any where any time period-EVERYONE WSANTS-NO ONE WANTS TO PAY.
At one time, I worked for a company that wholesaled expensive cameras. The largest dealers were mail order.
We discovered that 80% of the sales were done across state lines. We were told, the reason was to avoid sales tax.
Math is very simple, on a camera that would cost say 8,000 at 7% tax, the tax alone would be $560. I wondered, since a lot of this equipment was purchased for or claimed used by a business. People obviously did but how could our government allow them to write this equipment off without needing to prove the sales tax was paid.
AMAZON-I'm sure none of us shop on Amazon and then buy on EBAY where in the past, we knew we would not pay sales tax. Nightly Business Report 6/21/2018 pointed out that the stock of Wayfair has tanked. Wayfair advertises-we don't charge tax..
