completely wrong.
here is the correct way:
If you are running a business in a origin-based state, you would collect sales taxes for your state on all of your retail sales.
However, if you are running a business in a destination-based state, you would not have to collect your state's sales tax on sales that are shipped out-of-state. You would also not have to collect sales taxes for the customer?s state unless you have Nexus, or a physical presence, in that state. The customer would simply pay the sales/use tax on their own.
