An interesting graphic was recently posted on the issue of how different states approach Taxes and E-Commerce. As stated in the graphic and article, a Supreme Court decision from 1992 (Quill v. North Dakota) declared that if a business has no physical presence in a state, then sales tax needs not be collected in that state. However, places such as New York are passing (and their courts upholding) laws to allow just that to happen. So to our E-Commerce clients – make sure you’re charging sales tax on New York orders!

Update! Thanks to Kenneth at Bluegrass.net, we’ve become aware of some recent changes to Kentucky Tax Law. KRS 139 (available to read online) covers everything needed by our non-Kentucky e-commerce clients in regards to tax. This update shouldn’t affect how our Kentucky clients conduct their online business at present time.
