California wins tax spat with Borders.com | CNET News.com

California wins tax spat with Borders.com | CNET News.com: "State governments' attempts to collect tax from retailers who also sell online received a boost thanks to a recent decision by a California appeals court.

The state court said that the once-cozy relationship between Borders, which operates physical storefronts, and Borders Online permits California to collect sales taxes on Internet shipments sent into that state.

'Borders' receipts were sometimes imprinted with 'Visit us online at www.Borders.com,' and Borders' employees were encouraged to refer customers to Online to find merchandise not available at Borders stores,' the California court concluded on May 31."
