Gov Abott is further in your pocket. Was buying something on Ebay and learned that they now have to collect Texas State Sales Tax even though the seller does not have a physical presence in the state. Not sure if this went through the legislature or whether the Comptroller just decided to do this. I'm sure the extra revenue will have no effect on our reducing other taxes.

Yep, for you Abbot-haters, he had nothing to do with that one... It was a Federal thing that began back in the 0-bummer administration and just worked its way through the court system all the way to the SCOTUS... decision was handed down that internet sales were taxable and it officially began Oct. 1... Or might have been Sept 1... don't remember for sure...

If you purchased an item and the seller did not collect sales tax, you were supposed to remit it yourself (use tax) to the Comptroller. Apparently the honor system doesn't work in America anymore.

Man, I disagree with you on this one. If he was opposed, he would have said so as this is a big deal for Texas folks. It is what it is. All politicians suck is what I'm trying to say
