Judge tosses illegal Amazon Tax (poll) | colorado, amazon, online - TOWN HALL - Colorado Springs Gazette, CO


Looks like a judge here overturned the bill that caused amazon to drop all it's colorado affiliates (plus all the other onerous restrictions). Hopefully that case law will become precedent for other states. Big news, potentially.

I had started getting my wife set up to be an amazon affiliate (and me too, for that matter), just as it got taken down, 2 years ago. Someone may want to call Amazon and ask about affiliate reinstatement, if they'll do that.

Good news!

    The Colorado law took a different approach than most states who have used the presence of affiliates to create nexus between the retailer and the state, to enable the state to rwuire that the retailer collect and remit sales taxes.

    The decision is unlikely to have any effect outside Colorado.
