Looking to the future, the payments' industry is set to keep up its blistering rate of innovation and this will partly be enabled by the highly anticipated roll out of 5G. ?5G opens up a host of new opportunities, use cases and business models; if paired with payments, this can revolutionize the way consumers interact and the way enterprises compete,? explains Quah, underlining how 5G may solve current challenges surrounding real-time payment acceptance, for example. Other cutting-edge tools like bio metrics are quickly coming to the fore too. For instance, American multinational, MasterCard, has pledged that all consumers will be able to identify themselves with bio metrics such as fingerprints or * recognition when they shop and pay with MasterCard this April. ?Mobile bio metrics will become an enabler of mobile payments,? observes Quah. ?When large players like MasterCard make a move this direction, the impact is not just regional but a global one. ?

I just got this surprise buying a 170yr old set of Colt grips from a guy over in NV, and saw ebay tack on another $6.95 in sales tax. Seller didn't know anything about it either. Way to go democraps, lets kill more commerce and chase more business out of your states. :evil:

A lot of the FFLs were already sending their tax ID info along with the copy of their license. My hope is that showing things were shipped to a business and having the tax ID with the FFL will hinder any greedy auditors that might show up in the future.

Its pretty confusing because you don't have to claim or file sales tax unless you sell over a specific amount in various districts......good luck keeping up with it unless you have some kind of software. Its just easier to get the tax ID from the transfer guys and let them tack that onto the transfer fee.

The only way this will be a problem for most sellers is if they decide local revenue departments can collect out of state sales tax for various areas.

This sales tax thing was geared to collect lost money from places like Amazon and such....not the small sellers, but they can get hosed if they don't pay attention. Being a gun dealer I'm always under the impression someone wants to shut me down....so this is not something I'm going to play around with. I'm asking for tax IDs.

Think like 32 states now and it's going to kill the industry. Taxes and more taxes-(

it was only a matter of time politicians layed awake at night thinking of the possible money they could waste just slipping thru there slimy greedy hands
remember when gas tax was bad but got worse .. all th ecrying about cars only getting xx amount of miles per gallon
so cars started getting 30 to 40 + miles a gallon people were thinking I can save a few dollars now Oh wait so what they do the crooks- politicians started crying because they were loosing tax dollars because not as much gas was being sold so rase the tax any gain in millage savings was taken away for taxes


to think this country started over a small tax and now look 1/2 or more of our income goes to frigging taxes in one form or another
I truly think that is why hookers and street drugs are illegal not for the well being of people but no way for the government to tax them

I agree a cashless society is coming so every nickle will be tracked and taxed , and better have a reason for you income and expect to be checked on along with a "chip" and DNA taken at birth we ( as a nation ) are doomed to be sheeple of the government big brother
example look how many old crimes have been solved in the last year or so due to a extended family member doing a so called harmless DNA family history tracking ,, and its cross matched with collected DNA from many years back

Kansas did not have an exemption for small sellers and was set to go into effect 10/1 however the Kansas AG put the kibosh on that 9/30

Not advocating it, but it may help local businesses be more competitive. Pricing tires now there is no advantage to Tirerack and Discount Tire because they have to charge the same sales tax as my local installer, so my local installer, who installs for both Tirerack and Discount Tire can meet their price. I'd have love dot have them for $120 less, but atleast that couple bucks will go in his pocket instead of a huge tire warehouse out of state.

Here in Oklahoma, for many years you were supposed to declare your taxable out of state purchases. We'd claim some. Now it is charged automatically on larger retailers.
