the honor system doesn’t always work… I am pretty sure that most don’t abide by it.

jblack – if California didn’t try to make it so damn hard to do business in their state it would be a lot better off.

It’s most certainly just a very odd coincidence the 2 states in the worst financial shape are those that have the most oppressive tax structures too.

You are welcome Andrew, thanks for the link.

@Pattrick, you are right, good luck enforcing the new law.

I have to say, dealing with Sales tax in California is a total disasater. This weekend we were updating our sales tax tables on one of my domains, MinkCoats.com. California expects us to track and collect a different sales tax rate for every zip code in the state, and its dependant on the zip code the product was shipped to, not shipped from. Its almost impossible to do without error on a continuing basis. If they make this any more complicated I can’t imagine what would happen. I truly hate dealing with our Board of Equalization. Sometimes I pay my taxes, then get a refund cause they say I made an error, then I get a bill saying I owe them money, then I get it back again saying something to the effect of “Just kidding”.
