Anytime they say "harmonization," look out ...

The tax-seekers claim that they want to remedy the unfair advantage internet vendors have over traditional store-based vendors. They just want to "level the playing field." This is entirely specious. The internet vendors have simply come up w/ a better way of doing business given the rules that already exist, for everybody. The tax-seekers don't want to level the playing field, they want to take those who run faster, and tie them to balls & chains, so they'll be as slow as everyone else. Different locals have different sales taxes; it's a form of competition. Why don't they want, instead of "harmonizing" everyone to NY's 8.25% sales tax, to "harmonize" everyone to NH's 0% sales tax? This issue is the demon-child of bureaucrats who lust after your money, and have no reservations about creating a giant gov't information collection agency to feed their lust. Beware.
