In the US we pay state sales tax for any in-state purchase. For out-of-state purchases frequently the tax is not collected and it is up to the buyer to declare these taxes ;) The likelihood of being caught not paying though is nil.All of the big internet dealers like Amazon (are there any others???) have presence in most states anyway so they have to collect the tax. Smaller retailers do not so you get away without it. This is something the states want to stop of course since they lose tax revenue.
Personal transactions are also supposed to be taxed in-state, but good luck finding someone that actually does that. On eBay you are unlikely to be taxed, even in-state. I bought a fairly expensive bike frame a few years ago online and the shop had both a NY location and one in Ontario. To save on the tax they shipped from Canada. But if they had a NY location and one in Pennsylvania, I'd have to pay. And like with everything else tax related, there are loopholes.
And back to the original question, become a student and get 50% off Tidal. I'm not a student but I have a daughter that is. Guess whose name the account is under?

Thanks. That adds a lot to my knowledge of your tax situation in the USA.
Of course it will be interesting to see what happens when we in the UK exit the EU and leave the customs union. Currently if I buy anything in any EU member state and bring it to the UK I pay the tax in/to the vendor's country and pay nothing here. I suppose that I will have to pay import duty/taxes here and claim back the tax paid in the other country. Fat chance methinks, more likely that the reality will be I will be expected to pay double tax as there are often barriers to reclaiming tax and not all vendors are set up to deal correctly with exports outside the EU as found with a USA resident AA inmate earlier this year who was trying to buy a component from Germany.
