Virginia has had the Use Tax (self-reported Sales Tax) forever. It's primarily been enforced against businesses because:

-These are a number of significant transactions where sales tax is not collected. Businesses have Tax Exempt Certificates so they don't pay sales tax on things they buy for resale. Out of habit, there are times a seller may not charge sales tax on things they sell to the business, not realizing this particular sale is to be consumed internally.
-Businesses buy a significant amount of goods across state lines.
-The dollars to be had from businesses is substantial.
-Businesses are set up to track & remit this stuff.
-Most individuals are completely unaware of this requirement.
-It would be political suicide to try to enforce this on voters...businesses are always an easy target.

To try to collect on consumer-to-consumer transactions is small-minded beyond belief, screwing with citizens to chase pennies. It's all about intrusion into the most minuscule aspects of our existence.

Then, it is probably in our future.
