For those who choose to buy things online and not pay sales taxes, your days may be numbered. Later this fall, some legislation up for debate would add a state sales tax to all items online. Officials estimate this could bring in an extra $100 million, per year, to the state. If you pay for high speed internet or dial-up, a moratorium on taxing internet access was renewed in 2004 and will expire in a few years. Many say the shipping charges offset the amount taxes would add, but if taxes are added, online shoppers could be hit hard.
