From my perspective I'm hoping this will help...the smaller in-state, privately owned businesses.  |
I think it is about time. It's bound to help smaller businesses. Lack of sales tax levy has been a disadvantage to brick and mortar businesses, especially small ones. They can't compete with the giant online businesses price-wise. Why would you buy something from a small business if you could get it tax-free online, unless you were really committed to shopping locally?
I think this will have a small impact on us shoppers but a big advantage for local business.
