This bill doesn&#x27;t change anything about local sales tax, on internet purchases, other than prohibiting something punative...like where buying something over the internet would incur a tax HIGHER than buying it locally.<p>There is a separate fight going on around local taxes for items bought on the internet.   At the moment, an online business is able to charge sales tax only for sales that are shipped to a state that it has a presence in.<p>Amazon, being what it is, has a presence in every US state...so they tack on the appropriate sales tax for wherever you live.<p>And, Amazon is lobbying for legislation that would push every online retailer to do the same, even if they don&#x27;t have a presence in the shipping destination state.<p>Edit: It&#x27;s pretty complex: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.taxjar.com&#x2F;charging-sales-tax-rates&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.taxjar.com&#x2F;charging-sales-tax-rates&#x2F;</a>
