PAGE 6 - MONDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2018 www.thewestfieldnews.com THE WESTFIELD NEWS BUSINESSFINANCIAL Taxes may be a bigger part of online shopping this season WASHINGTON (AP) — Shoppers heading online to pur- chase holiday gifts will find they’re being charged sales tax at some websites where they weren’t before. The reason: the Supreme Court. A June ruling gave states the go-ahead to require more companies to collect sales tax on online purchases. Now, more than two dozen have moved to take advantage of the ruling, many ahead of the busy holiday shopping season. “Will your shopping bill look any different? ... The answer right now is it depends,” said Jason Brewer, a spokesman for the Retail Industry Leaders Association, which represents more than 70 major retailers. Whether shoppers get charged sales tax on their online purchases comes down to where they live and where they’re shopping. Before the Supreme Court’s recent decision , the rule was that businesses selling online had to collect sales tax only in states where they had stores, warehouses or another physical presence. That meant that major retailers such as Apple, Best Buy, Macy’s and Target, which have brick-and-mortar stores In this June 10, 2011, photo, a worker checks the paint on a Camaro at the GM factory in Oshawa, Ontario.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Nov. 26, 2018: This year presents opportunities of all types. Emotionally, you could become more discerning or more controlling. Choosing which way to go is up to you. Your popularity soars, and your playful side emerges. If you are single, you meet people with ease. The knowledge of who is right for you By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker lies within. If you are attached, you and your DUSTIN sweetie often alternate roles. Differences between you should be treated with less judgment and more respect. CANCER draws you in close.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You could find that you wake up hot under the collar. You might decide to stand up to a controlling person or confront a controlling situa- tion. Once immersed in this interaction, you could find that getting out is a difficult task. Tonight: Relish the company of a loved one. SCARY GARY Mark Buford TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might be unusually sensitive to others and their needs. Regardless, if pushed too hard, you or the other party could have a sarcastic and difficult reaction. A financial decision might be more important than you think it is. Tonight: Relax and be yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Curb a tendency to be controlling or possessive. If you get into a tiff with a friend, both of you will be invested in being right. You might Crosswords decide to end the discussion and go off to do your own thing. Try not to be compulsive; instead, go with the flow. Tonight: Do some shopping. DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might be delighted and then upset with a decision you have to make. Imagine being on the receiving end of the outcome, and you will see what you need to do. Before criticiz- ing others, you will need to look at your own behavior. Tonight: Do something fun and exciting. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HH Your sense of direction and personal integrity tell you where to land on a key issue. Fulfill a need to communicate your feelings. You don’t have to be charming, but you do need to be authentic. Others will recognize and respond to that energy. Tonight: Make it an early night. B.C. Mastroianni and Hart VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH If you can avoid an either-or situa- tion, you will zero in on what needs to be handled. If others don’t feel cornered, you will become unusually successful. People can move or aban- don their positions with grace, and you can too. Tonight: Make it OK to go a little overboard. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You likely feel pressured by a commu- nity or professional matter. Others might feel similarly tense. Sometimes, simply handling what you must works better than getting too much into the feelings involved. Don’t go unnecessarily overboard. Tonight: Full of fun and adventure. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie HHHH Read between the lines. Manage a problem directly. Others might be acting as though they’re handling a hot potato.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett Be direct when dealing with others. ANDY CAPP Steer clear of the moodiness and changeability around you. Your ability to understand what’s going on and see through someone’s defenses can only prove helpful. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer that makes you smile and want to indulge. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Dive into a project. Be determined to achieve the results you desire. Don’t be surprised by what’s happening. Others don’t have your degree of commitment to completing this work. Therefore, the weight of completion is on your Cryptoquip shoulders. Tonight: Work off some stress. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You have the gifts of clear vision and ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe heightened creativity. You find answers that work but might not be conventional or mainstream. Laugh and enjoy what’s happening around you. Listen to a child who likely has an unusual insight. Tonight: Act more like a free spirit.
