Is the following a true statement?
The Constitution of the United States limits the power of the states to subjects within their jurisdiction. Jurisdiction over interstate commerce is reserved to the federal government.
Or put another way, If I sell something manufactured in Texas and ship it to a Customer in New Jersey, is my business in any way potentially liable for the collection of Sales and/or Use tax in New Jersey? Is this entirely my New Jersey based customer's responsibility?
Please no speculation. This is an actual debate within our Company right now and I want to be sure of my answer. Thanks.
