  I'm not a lawyer but out of state companies aren't subject to the laws
  of any state unless they maintain a company office within that state.
  The MI tax office would have no authority to audit an AZ company.
  
  Many states are pressuring congress to close this loophole. To force
  companies to collect sales tax for each state in which the buyer
  resides. Of course the next step, if this happens, is then the state
  will go after the company for a share of its profits in the form of
  income taxes. Money hungry bureaucrats.
  
For instance, at OSH each year vendors must collect WI sales tax on all
  sales at the airshow and file a sales tax report with the state. OK, but
  then the state of WI, according to several out of state vendors, them
  for WI annual state income tax returns.
