Cities still calling for internet sales tax

(Festus) With so many people continuing to shop online these days due to not wanting to get out due to the pandemic, it fuels the need for the state to implement an internet sales tax. Festus City Administrator Greg Camp says it’s been a long time coming, and this needs to be changed.

The state of Missouri is one of just a few states remaining that do not charge local or state sales taxes on internet sales on websites like Amazon. The City of Brentwood in St. Louis County just passed a use tax for internet sales last week.
