I got an official response on how it works:

Thanks for your interest in B&H Photo and for this feedback. Like most of our customers I want the benefits of the tax revenue when my state paves roads, improves schools, and so on. Like most of our customers I'd also like to have as much of my hard-earned dollars in my pocket as possible.

The Payboo program does not change when or how much your state treasury receives from a purchase made here. State sales tax is paid as it was yesterday and last week but now, when that's done B&H issues an "instant rebate" to you for the amount of tax you just paid.
