What are the sales tax collection laws when it comes to running an online business or shop? Like are there any sales tax you have to follow within each person that buys from a different state in the US? Is there a tax for every country as well? What laws should we be aware of when it comes to sales tax?

Sales tax collection laws for online businesses can vary depending on the jurisdiction in which the business operates and where its customers are located. It's important to consult with a tax professional or advisor who can provide specific guidance based on your business's circumstances and location.

This is something that can never be avoided in any of business that offers their services across borders. Such taxes will always come I into the business dealing. Although some of them aren't that high but hugely depends on the product cost that's been moved!

There are many businesses who have installed a software that allows them to automatically pay all the sales taxes. Sales taxes are one of the major sources of revenue for the government of my country. So, this is why they have a separate organisation that deals with taxation issues.

Doing things this way actually makes it very easy for such businesses to stay clear of any kind of government poking about them evading taxes which is considered a big crime. Some businesses have been shutdown as a result of this.
 
Are there any locations that don't do sales taxes on producst/services sold? I ask because I know some states in the US don't have a sales tax, and I'm curious if some locations don't even do it, if so, what happens there? Are you still required to pay some kind of sales tax?

Over here, there's no way you would able to avoid paying sales tax with the way businesses are monitored. You can't hide from it and it's why most businesses have it built in automatically in their sales system to deal with the tax payment.
 
Personally I think sales tax online depends on the country of your location. there are some countries which have less concern about the income their citizens earned online and same to issue of tax collected from them while some countries makes it mandatory through some method that such tax will be deducted from your income.
 
Taxation laws differ from country to country. In my home country, even online businesses need registration. For instance, if you want to sell through local ecommerce marketplace, your business need to be registered. Your business need to be registered in in-land revenue department for taxation purpose.

I recently visited a shop and they had a software that automatically records all the transactions and they also record the amount of sales tax associated with the product. The tax automatically gets recorded and this system is also much better.

The government of my country will tax anything that is possible for them to tax because they are always very greedy especially when it comes to making money and they are the last people that are going to make any effort in using the money generated from taxation to do anything that is going to benefit the citizens. It's like we pay the taxes for their own enjoyment.

The government tries to tax every thing because they want to generate tax revenues as much as possible. However, sometimes, they offer subsidies to certain people who may not be earning that much. Regardless of that, sales taxes are imposed on almost all the people.
