I'm not Larry and don't play him on the internet :^)
The way I understand it, currently and in MN, is that any mailorder purchases
where the MN sales tax is not collected you are supposed to pay a "use tax"
that happens to be the same % as the sales tax.... I'm sure that other states
are the same way. Also if a company does business/has a physical precense in a
state it is required to collect the sales tax for that state.....
