If you are registered Federal in USA and Canada you can collect taxes in all states and provinces. |

NOT TRUE.
Unless you have a state license in every single state in the USA you can not collect state sales tax. |

When you register federal level as an online business, you have to register at State/Prov level for license.
You can collect taxes for each state and submit them at end of each fiscal year. You cannot collect county/regional taxes, only state taxes. |

I do have a federal registered business. I don't knwo where you get yoru information from BUT it certain is different they anything else I have ever heard or seen in the United States.
You can not submit Colorado collected sales tax to the federal US governement. You must submit it to the state of Colroado and you must have a license to collect it. If you dont' have a license from each state you can not legally collect it. |

Perhaps the difference is, Our parent company is a Canadian company based and operated from Canada as a global online market. If the sales volume is over a certain amount (see Revenue Canada Website for details) we are to register and collect taxes and submit to appropriate states and provinces. |

That is Bogus, there is certain criteria for collecting state sales tax.
The most predominant reasons for collecting are if you have employees-distribution-warehouse in each state you can collect
You install products or provide services in each state
Basically you have to have a physical presence in each state you are collecting from.
When people buy online at the end of the year they are supposedly suppose to self disclose on there state income tax the amount of goods bought online from out of state.
I for one would not want to get caught collecting sales tax wrongfully.

TRUE
but that is not normally the case
UNLESS you are a major corporation like Target, WalMart etc.
most ecrater stores do not have a physical presence in each state |
