Here is to me a rather humorous situation regarding the sales tax in Pennsylvania. To make a long story short, I went into the industrial supply business in late 1979. One of the suppliers that I wanted to use was in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They apparently did not think it was a good idea to become an authorized agent of the state to collect sales tax on items that were sold to their customers. They made it clear to me immediately that the only way I (or anyone ) could buy product from them for resale was if I was tax exempt. They would not sell me one dollars worth of product until I had a tax exemption certificate which, of course I did have. Their reasoning was that they are not going to collect the tax for the state and do the work required to get at that time I believe one percent of the money collected as compensation.
