A friend lived in one town but had an address for the city next to it. I
lived a couple of blocks closer to the city (same subdivision) but had a town
address. The tax rates were substantially different. How does your simple
model handle this?


Simple. They don't care what the town address is. They are
collecting STATE sales tax, not city or down or other districts. The
city is SOL


That's not reality. The state collects the tax and remits it to the other
taxing authorities.


If it is not collected for them, there is nothing to remit. Let each
town bring its own law suite against Amazon.


The *STATES* will sue Amazon. The STATES collect taxes for the lower-level
taxing authorities. They don't have to figure it out, businesses do. It's
unworkable (and constantly getting worse).
