As for the "allowed" part, it could be directed at companies like WalMart - or just be poor wording to indicate the fact that currently companies are not allowed to collect sales tax except in states they operate in where they also have a valid Resale Certificate or Tax Certificate.

My question is, can they require it? My guess is my state would have to pass a law (not make some general agreement with a bunch of other states) that requires me to collect tax for other states - and then provide me the method of disbursing that money - or they'd have to take care of that part for me.
