Is the problem just the tax free status, or are you saying
they won't even allow you to resell for Dell unless you join
the partner channel?
Reason I'm asking is, NO tax free status should not really
matter because you pay the tax upfront and then deduct
it at the end of the year as an expense when you do your
income taxes.
I suspect that Dell was forced to adopt this new policy by
the contract they entered into with the big retailers who
would only agree to sell Dell products if these were the terms.
If that's the case, there ought to be a law against
such practices.
I service computers but don't sell them. I'll assist a customer
with purchasing a Dell computer and then set it up for them
which I believe is more profitable and less hassles than selling
them one directly. If anything goes wrong with that PC, it's
mostly all on Dell to solve the problem.
