Here's the change:
At one time, if I purchased something from out of state, the state of Florida expected me to fill out a form and mail it the 6% sales tax it claimed I "owed." Yeah, like that was going to happen.
Under the newer law, if I purchase something from out of state, the out of state business has to collect the 6% sales tax from me and send it to Florida's extortion nexus.
A tax that the state can't and doesn't collect isn't a tax.
A tax that the state can and does collect is a tax.
So we're talking about two different taxes here -- one imaginary and one real.
And the real one is "new" versus the imaginary "old" one.
