A group of the nation’s governors, state legislators and state tax administrators are asking the United States Congress to require catalog companies, online retailers and live television shopping networks to collect sales taxes from their customers, even if they live in states where the retailers have no operations. While all retailers must collect taxes on sales in a state where they have a physical presence, the Supreme Court has held that it would be a burden on interstate commerce to force retailers to collect and remit taxes for sales in states where they are not located.

Here in Missouri the Department of Revenue is conducting audits on businesses going back 5 years. They check all purchases including online purchases. It is the responsibility of the business to provide proof that the “use tax” has been paid if purchase was made from an out of state vendor and shipped into Missouri; or sales tax if the purchase was made within the state. The department is collecting hundreds of thousands from businesses in MO. They compare IRS forms to state forms to verify sales; they audit all payments to all vendors. Businesses are required to turn over all electronic and paper records. Any missing invoices or receipts – they charge tax – plus interest and penalties from the date of the sale. Between EPA, OSHA, IRS, State recordkeeping regs, and insurance… Is it any wonder the price of everything is skyrocketing? I’m thinking the best place to work is for the government. Isn’t that what they want???

Now this is where contracting a remote assistant can be beneficial to your business. Why purchase all the license for your workers when you can contract a work at home mom or freelance professional to fill the spot?
