Out-of-state
mail orders cost
Texas money
Associated Press
AUSTIN — Because Texans lead
the nation in mail order purchases,
the state loses out on millions of dol
lars in sales tax revenue each year,
the comptroller’s office said
Wednesday.
With more and more Americans
buying by mail, the problem likely
will get worse, the office reported in
its monthly Fiscal Notes newsletter.
“This year, out-of-state retailers
will legally avoid collecting Texas
sales tax on as much as $3.3 billion
worth of merchandise sent through
the mail,” the report said.
Although purchases from mail or
der companies outside Texas are
taxable, the state has no way to col
lect the taxes.
Under a 1967 U.S. Supreme
Court ruling, states are prohibited
from requiring out-of-state retailers
to collect sales taxes for them, as in
state retail merchants are required
to do.
The problem is getting worse as
increasing numbers of consumers
purchase from mail order compa
nies, the report said.
“Mail order sales are booming na
tionwide.” the newsletter said. “Sales
have grown an average of 10 percent
annually over the last five years, with
total sales expected to reach $50 bil
lion by the end of this year.”
According to federal figures,
Texas accounted for 6.6 percent of
the total nationwide mail order sales
in 1983, leading the nation.
“The mail order boom should
continue, fueled by increasing num
bers of double-breadwinner families
looking for convenient ways to shop
and maturing baby-boomers with
more money to spend,” the comp
troller’s report said.
“Technological advances such as
electronic funds transfer and the
looming potential of shopping by
home computer should further mail
order sales growth.”
Several states, including Texas,
want Congress to pass legislation to
invalidate the Supreme Court ruling
or induce mail order firms to comply
with state sales tax laws, the comp
troller said.
Groups representing retail mer
chants support the efforts, claiming
that mail order companies are com
peting unfairly because they don’t
nave to collect sales taxes.
