Since I am not a lawyer, I have urged every merchant to contact a sales and use tax attorney or accountant for guidance.  The law that was passed in Colorado was the harshest we&#8217;ve seen [...]]]></description>

Georgia &#8211; HB 1221 and HB 1244 are introduced. These bills will be amended and will need to be carefully monitored. It is expected that at least one of these bills will modernize nexus definitions and include provisions requiring out of state merchants to collect sales tax.
