If you have to report and remit your sales tax collections to every state and city or county within the state ( some have an additional sales tax ) ...

Did you know that there are more than 11,000 tax jurisdictions in the United States? While there are a handful of states that don’t levy a sales tax, and there are a few states that have a state-wide tax, the majority of states have multiple, overlapping tax jurisdictions including county and city levels. Furthermore, there can be even smaller tax districts made for special purposes like regional transit, hospital zones and many, many others. http://www.zip2tax.com/ (spam-o-rama -- look at the left margin!

Why should someone selling interstate in e-commerce pay the burden of collecting, reporting, and remitting. They should be entitled to 20% of the tax as the "rev-share"

While may very well happen (be enacted), I doubt any appeal will succeed pleading undue burden -- but there should be a federally paid for database to be used -- that cost can recovered from the states -- the database benefits their revenue, doesn't it? There is no such thing as a free lunch and most likely prices will rise to cover the costs.

Guess who pays?
