This issue is very hard to resolve because many orders are interstate, and taxes are established by each state, so it will be difficult to decide who gets tax revenue between the state that the package is from or the state that is receiving the package.
My idea is to take half of each state's sales tax, and apply it to the purchase. So for example, if a package is going from California to Washington, and California's sales tax is 8% and Washington's is 6%, then half of each state's tax will be applied to the purchase, meaning 4% for California and 3% for Washington. This will scale sales by half of each state's taxes, which is not optimal, but it keeps tax cheap for the consumer and gives the states more than what they get now, which is nothing.
