Delaware has definitely changed.

We kept moving south until we hit Middletown, then we went rural into Maryland and now in Florida.

The nanny state keeps creeping along.

Well as a small business owner. You need to look at the south dakota vs wayfair inc case. Where the supreme court ruled where states can require sales tax from out of state purchases.
For example:
If my business was located in Indiana and I will selling to a Michigan customer I would not have to charge sales tax unless the year prior I made 200 sales or a 100,000 dollars in sales to Michigan Residents. I used michigan as an example because thats the state I live and the state im most familar with.

Forget the above example now because I am actually based in michigan.
New example:
Moored performance is located in michigan. Even if I only ever make 1 sale online I am still required to collect sales tax to michigan residents since my busniess is based here. This is only for products sold not a service. So I do not have to charge taxes on my tunes. Well I shouldnt the state of michigan wants to have more conversations with me on exactly what I am doing because they dont understand. I pretty much told them remote tune ups. And they just cant get over the fact software is involved.

But the interesting thing. from what I can tell the State of Tennessee never requires a seller from another state to charge a Tennessee resident. My guess some places are just starting to always charge sales tax because they don't want to know every states tax code.

This last can be a fact (I've seen it) but it is technically "fraud" if they do not forward it to the state as required. Serious businesses will not get into that trap. It can end up, among other things, with a full tax audit for them. This whole topic sprung from the decline in tax revenues from online purchases (see Amazon) and states not wanting to miss out on that revenue.

Technically taxes are theft.

Especially since the majority of them are not spent for the people but ripped off by politicians and corporations.

So if a state not required to collect sales tax collects it anyway, and actually sends it to the state, is a refund due or ?

No they are still reporting the tax I’m sure.
technically if you buy something online you are supposed to still file and pay taxes on it later as the individual. So with them doing what they are doing they are just collecting the money ahead of time so you don’t have to pay it later. Even tho no one pays it later. So technically no refund because you are just paying ahead of time instead of later

They are not the only ones with guns, lots of guns.
C4 to the door, tax man no more...

Another great reason to move to a state with no sales tax! One big bonus to living in DE.
You gave us Biden, should removed from the Union and sold to the highest bidder.

He's already bought. You have to buy him from his master.
