And risk a knock on the door from the authorities for tax fraud!

Unfortunately this is a fact of life for businesses that no one really 
talks about - life as an unpaid tax collector. We have to do the same 
thing here in Washington state if you run any kind of mail order 
business, the sales tax is based on where the item is shipped to, not 
where the business is located. My POS system takes care of all the 
bookwork which is nice, but at an added $50.00 a quarter for updates.
