Do you mean like ebay from previous owners, or new from an online store?

Sales tax should never be applied to repurchases (eg, buying used things from ebay). As for new purchases - while I generally don't like taxes at all, I think sales tax is the best. If we go from that premise, yes, sales tax should be applied to online purchases. In other words, IF sales tax should be applied to personal sales (ie, sales in real time face-to-face) then yes. IF NOT, then no.
