So if I live in upstate NY and my closest grocery store is just over the boarder the sales tax that is collected at the store by the store to be dispersed locally should be remitted to NY? Yeah... That's how it works.

Internet sales tax should be collected and disperse at the location of the vendor like all other sales taxes.
