George,
I've been buying from Chewbarka since 2017. Not a lot, but I've a couple of customers who are repeat tag purchasers and I buy for them.
I do NOT think you really realize how incredibly difficult on line sales tax collecting is. AND expensive. You think that you just have one rate for each state? NO. In just Arkansas, each municipality can levy a tax. Each county can levy a tax all on top of the base state tax rate. In the month of October alone, there were 18 changes. Since the election this week, a LOT of the counties and cities had ballot measures to change rates. I would expect the next letter to have 50 or more changes. This is JUST little Arkansas. Multiply by 50 states and 100,000 municipalities and counties nationwide. It would be a full time job just to maintain a database of this. And the software is expensive. Yes it only applies to large companies, and I guess Chewbarka has hit that threshold.
