My understanding--I'm not a lawyer--is that there is no law requiring any seller to collect tax on items sold/shipped to 
a purchaser from outside that seller's home state (but there will be eventually--bet on it).  I live in California, so 
it is up to me to declare out-of-state purchases and pay the sales tax, which I generally do (if I can find the paperwork).

Since you quoted me, I'll clarify: "The seller will not charge sales tax if you live outside of IN, so it's up to you to 
handle that as you and your taxing authorities see fit."   That's what I meant when I wrote that (yep).

Who 'lit up' your client?  What was your client trying to pull off?  Are you a lawyer or an accountant?
