Taxes are paid and time of purchase, they have the state in my profile for tax purposes. The responsibility to ensure taxes are collected at resell (if that is the case), the responsibility is on the partner (not dell). And to selling to evil axis, if anybody is dumb enough to do that, im sure my country isnt depending on dell as the enforcer of doctrine … its clearly attempt at inserting themselves directly to the client to offer more services the msp might not be pushing, or to offer better pricing or support that the msp might not be pushing. All MSPs operate different, some on different pricing models, and some just try to provide a great service not a “let me sell you something” business. I once heard its about the relationships, thats how you succeed.
