Not on everything...but just from some places.

For instance, I paid zero sales tax on an order from B&H Photo

But on this order from American Musical Supply I did pay tax:
Ship To
Robert Boyette
7310 Falvo Ave
Las Vegas, NV 89131

Summary
Subtotal: $2,399.98
Sales Tax: $196.18
Shipping & Processing: $21.95
Total: $2,618.11


So I'm guessing that this new ruling will require all companies to collect state sales tax as opposed to companies picking and choosing?

For instance here is a Go-Pro I bought back in May of 2017:
Subtotal $349.97
Shipping 2-Day $0.00
Sales Tax $28.87
Order Total $378.84


They charged sales tax.

And here is an order from a couple of weeks ago at Sweetwater Music. No tax:
Mesa/Boogie Triple Crown TC-50 - 50-watt Rackmount Tube Head
✓ Free Tech Support ✓ Free 2-Year Warranty
1 $1,899.00 $1,899.00
Dunlop CBM95 Cry Baby Mini Wah Pedal
✓ Free Tech Support ✓ Free 2-Year Warranty
1 $100.00 $100.00
Subtotal: $1999.00
Shipping & Handling: $70.30
FREE SHIPPING: -$70.30
Total Before Tax: $1,999.00
Estimated Tax: $0.00
Order Total: $1,999.00

Been wondering why I pay tax on some stuff and not on others.
Because Crockett is melting down and lying again, he cut the bolded part out

President Donald Trump gave the issue renewed visibility when he tweeted in early April that Amazon pays "little or no taxes to state & local governments." That wasn't correct: The company has collected taxes since April 1, 2017, on sales to customers in the 45 states that collect them. That leaves out only Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon.
