Missouri is set to become the last state to require out-of-state online stores to collect sales taxes on residents' purchases.

The GOP-led House on Friday voted 145-6 to send a bill mandating online sales tax collection to the governor. Missouri is the only state with a sales tax that hasn't approved some kind of requirement that out-of-state online stores collect them on items sold to residents.

Buyers currently are still required to pay that tax even if online stores don't collect it. But many people don't know that, and it's challenging to enforce without the help of retailers.
