The proposed tax is a consumer burden . A $29.95 membership would require a $3.00 tax be collected from the CONSUMER and then be remitted to the IRS at specified intervals.. Same as a sales tax basically..
Your burden is the paperwork and accounting.. More burdensome than this is the fact that billing backends will have to be modified to add, track & collect this tax in a manner that does not tax those that are excluded from the obligation to pay, such as surfer in other countries.
When I buy merchandise online from a business in another state I am not obligated to pay, however, a consumer buying online from a business located in his or her home state IS obligated to pay.
The tax itself is not such an issue.. it's the paperwork, accounting, tracking and collecting that's the bigger problem..
Worst case scenario, surfers will seek out pornsites with a lower cost membership.
