You are quoted in The Central Virginian as saying, regarding an Internet sales tax, “If you go online and shop now, you’re not paying a tax, but we want you to be taxed. So we’re asking the state to impose a tax where there is no tax now.”


You are incorrect that there is “no tax now.” Please inform yourself about Virginia’a Use Tax.


According to (https://tax.virginia.gov/retail-sales-and-use-tax), “The consumer’s use tax applies to tangible items used, consumed or stored in Virginia when the Virginia sales or use tax was not paid at the time of purchase.”


Now, I suspect that, like you, few Virginians pay this tax, or even know about it. My wife and I do pay it, and sometimes we think we’re the only two people in the Commonwealth who do so.


But the fact remains — a sales tax DOES exist for Internet purchases. I think your quotation might be amended to, “If you go online and shop now, you’re not paying a tax, but you SHOULD be paying the Virginia use tax.”


Thank you.
