In the US, in states that charge sales tax, the merchant is generally supposed to charge sales tax. And if they don’t, the purchaser is generally supposed to pay a “use tax” that is the same amount as what the sales tax would have been.
The latter pretty much never happens though, because there isn’t the tax infrastructure to do that for individuals.
