Supreme Court Clears Way to Collect Sales Tax From Web Retailers

The U.S. Supreme Court building in Washington, June 4, 2018. Internet retailers can be required to collect sales taxes in states where they have no physical presence, the court ruled on June 21. Brick-and-mortar businesses have long complained that they are disadvantaged by having to charge sales taxes while many of their online competitors do not. (Tom Brenner/The New York Times)
