Amazon Sales Tax (CA and AZ)
Looks like Amazon might lose the sales tax war as CA is going after them (and other online retailers). Arizona has a lot of work to do, but wants to do the same thing.
Now from what I understand, Amazon does not have to collect taxes (supposedly) in states where it does not have a physical presence and is the center of dispute in Connecticut for example:
Amazon Sales Tax Dispute: Connecticut Gets Tough With Internet Retailer
This was their issue in California, because they do have a presence there.
Bloomberg gives some interesting history here for those int'd: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-0...-tax-view.html
Anyway, here are my questions:
1. Does anyone know if Amazon is still dropping states from being affiliates? I haven't read about that lately and I'm guessing it's because they are no longer worried unless they have a physical presence in the state?
2. My Amazon sales have done fairly well. But I'm wondering if that is wise considering that Amazon could drop my state at some time?
