Dell is now charging sales tax in 13 states

[Guest]

Just for everyone's info:

I ordered a Dimension 8400 through Dell's website last night and, upon
getting to the final price page, was surprised to see that Dell is now
charging sales tax in 13 states, including Illinois, unfortunately.

When I bought my Inspiron 8600 last October, they did not charge sales tax
in Illinois and I seem to remember only about 3 states that were listed in
the sales tax list.

Sales taxes are now collected for orders shipping to:

Texas, Kentucky, Nevada, North Carolina, Tennessee, Idaho, Ohio, Virginia,
Illinois, Pennsylvania, Missouri, California and Florida.

Yep, All states where they have opened stores. Of course you paid that
sales tax directly to the state/county when you bought that laptop. ;-)
I'm going to be interested in the lawsuit that is currently in court
over internet sales of wine. It is illegal for wineries to sell outside
of their home states in most areas because of the taxes on alcohol and
transporting it across state lines. If the case goes against the
wineries it could make sales tax mandatory on ALL internet sales. And
could impact sales of other products as well.

On another note now that IBM is placing their computer manufacturing
division up for sale, what will we call the clones?

I had to pay Michigan sales tax three weeks ago when I ordered my 8600.

They're also for enforcing the law. The sales tax collection doesn't add any
addl. tax to what a buyer is legally oblicated to pay - sales tax collected
by the vendor or an alternative use tax supposed to be paid by the end
buyer. Sales tax is also a nice regressive flat tax much better than a
graduated rate income and estate tax.

Amen, brother! At least with income tax, you only pay it if you made
the money! I see they've made sales tax deductable again, though.

8:07:01 PM BE_RR_Rep_Patrick Internet Tax: The Internet Tax Freedom act does not state that the Internet will be tax exempt. That seems to be a popular misconception fueled by the media and certain individuals. It states the following things: 1) Internet access such as America Online and Compuserve will be tax exempt. 2) There will be no tariffs placed on the Internet so it will encourage global free trade. 3) No NEW taxes will be applied to the Internet, which might hinder its growth.
8:07:50 PM NIA STALLWORTH WHEN I BOUGHT MY 1ST DELL, 4 YEARS AGO, I WAS NOT TAXED ON IT
8:07:50 PM BE_RR_Rep_Patrick Dell collects sales and use taxes on Internet sales. What the new law established is protection for consumers for 3 years on a "special" tax that states could incur on transactions made over the Internet. The items purchased over the Internet are still considered taxable whether we collect the tax or not. If we don't collect it, the customer is responsible for remitting it directly to their ship to state.
8:08:31 PM BE_RR_Rep_Patrick yes and gas prices were down also Nia, times change as do laws and taxes. there is nothing I can do about tax being charged on your system
8:09:26 PM BE_RR_Rep_Patrick you could contact your local tax division if you feel that this is unfair and dispute your case, that would be what I would advise. or our tax department here at dell. but there is nothing I can do about you being charge sales tax.
8:09:42 PM NIA STALLWORTH WELL, DIDNT DELL GET SUED FOR CHARGING TAX ILLEGALLY? WHATS UP WITH THAT?
8:10:01 PM BE_RR_Rep_Patrick no idea.
8:10:13 PM BE_RR_Rep_Patrick If you have about 10 to 15 mins we can customize one together and I can make a quote on one for you . All I would need would be your Address, Phone number, and Email, this isn't committing you to buy simply allows me to view all promotions
8:11:00 PM NIA STALLWORTH UM HUM. OKAY. THE NUMBER YOU JUST GAVE ME IS AN AUTOMATED MACHINE. IT INTRUCTED ME TO CONTACT SOMEONE ONLINE. IS THERE ANOTHER NUMBER I CAN CONTACT?
8:11:37 PM BE_RR_Rep_Patrick 18009993355 ext 7266966 that is our customer service division
8:11:57 PM NIA STALLWORTH I ALREADY PURCHASED MY SYSTEM. $732.22
8:12:28 PM NIA STALLWORTH THANKS ANYWAY FOR TRYING. BY THE WAY, HOW LONG HAVE YOU WORKED AT DELL?
8:12:42 PM BE_RR_Rep_Patrick 2 years.
8:13:07 PM NIA STALLWORTH OH, OK. I SEE. ALRIGHT THANKS.
8:13:22 PM BE_RR_Rep_Patrick was there anything else I could assist you with today?

8:14:47 PM BE_RR_Rep_Patrick We charge tax because we have business presence in that state.
8:15:17 PM BE_RR_Rep_Patrick when you bought your computer 4 yrs ago...we may not have had business presence in your state.
8:15:27 PM BE_RR_Rep_Patrick Ma'am, are you there?
8:15:32 PM NIA STALLWORTH yeah
8:15:52 PM BE_RR_Rep_Patrick does that make since about the taxes?
8:16:48 PM BE_RR_Rep_Patrick Business presence, by definition... typically means a Kiosk...or perhaps presence in a brick and morter store.
8:16:59 PM BE_RR_Rep_Patrick I.e. Best Buy, Wal-Mart etc.
8:17:20 PM NIA STALLWORTH No. But I understand you have to follow a script, because you are just a customer service agent. So I will not blame you for DELL's bad bussiness.
8:18:12 PM BE_RR_Rep_Patrick Nia, I am not following scripts, im a sales agent so I try to insure that all of my customers are satisfied with the product we represent
8:18:25 PM BE_RR_Rep_Patrick Bad business- do you mean our model?
8:18:35 PM BE_RR_Rep_Patrick Just trying to understand...sorry for the additional question.
8:20:02 PM BE_RR_Rep_Patrick In the last 6 months, we have introduced our products to customer's via extremely direct retail channels.
8:20:48 PM NIA STALLWORTH No, I mean bussiness practices. Its a shame because customers lose trust in a place, when lies are constantly being told. I really thought about just getting an HP istead. the only reason I stillpurchased the 1525 , is because it came in "pink"
8:21:13 PM BE_RR_Rep_Patrick Like, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Staples, Guitar Center etc...that was the overwhelming response/request from you, our customer.
8:21:37 PM BE_RR_Rep_Patrick Wise choice....my manager is sporting a Pink notebook.
8:21:57 PM BE_RR_Rep_Patrick Looks pretty neat.
8:22:55 PM NIA STALLWORTH Wow, Manager? LOL. I didn't know you guys over there had managers. Everytime I ask to speak to one, I get placed on hold, the hung up on. Thats AMAZING!

8:30:17 PM BE_RR_Rep_Patrick sure
8:30:44 PM NIA STALLWORTH when i call customer service, is my calls being out sourced to another country?
8:31:34 PM BE_RR_Rep_Patrick 50/50 chance the routing goes one way or the other
8:32:53 PM NIA STALLWORTH okay. does that save money? Because most American people, to be honest, don't understand heavy accents.
