An angle on collecting sales tax from Amazon, other online sales

Rolf Wilkin of Fayetteville, owner of a group of pizza restaurants and president of the Arkansas Restaurant Association, tells me there is a way short of federal legislation to recoup some of the lost sales tax unpaid in Arkansas customer transactions with web giant Amazon. I mentioned earlier that the Little Rock City Board wants to talk wth Arkansas congressmen about a long-pending legislative idea to require collection of sales taxes on Internet sales, with resulting payments to cities and counties and others now missing out on the commerce generated by physical businesses in their jurisdictions.
