Sellers on Etsy have increasingly complained about how the company has responded to the new federal law meant to ensure digital platforms are charging sales tax to their Canadian customers

GlobeSmallBiz Any tax related change creates uncertainty. Creates worry. Distracts from doing the actual business. Unless it's a tax reduction law. But I haven't heard of one.
