A lawyer takes his crusade to collect online sales tax nationwide

Chicago lawyer Stephen Diamond, who initiated suits against online retailers in Illinois for not collecting sales tax, is taking his crusade nationwide, he tells InternetRetailer.com. "The states have been cheated out of huge amounts of money," he says. Diamond, who was recently joined by the Illinois State Attorney General in suing Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Target Corp., Office Depot Inc. and two smaller retailers to force them to pay uncollected back sales taxes, says he`s working with lawyers in 45 other states to bring similar actions against e-retailers.
