Sebastian, Just to clarify, where the "item changed hands" may not be the seller's location. I use to live just outside the border of a city that charged a sales tax. When purchasing an item from a store within the city, I would pay sales tax if I went into the store, purchased it, and took it home. However, if I went into the store and purchased something that they then delivered to my house, e.g. lumber, there was no sales tax. So the tax was based on the delivery address not the seller's location.

If it's not an internet sale, then the purchase was made at the seller's location (i.e. where the item exchanged hands) so the seller charges the rate at their location. Have a great day everyone.
