According to http://www.amazon.com/Locations-Careers/b?ie=UTF8&node=239366011 http://www.amazon.com/Locations-Careers/b?ie=UTF8&node=2... Amazon has subsidiaries in: Cupertino, Lake Forest, San Francisco, San Luis Obispo, Palo Alto, and San Francisco.
I also regularly get deliveries that seem to originate within CA, even if Amazon does nor report any fulfillment centers in CA.
Let's be honest: Amazon has an unfair advantage over local retailers by not charging sales tax and it's using the loud online voice that its Amazon Associates have to keep things this way.
- leot 15y agoThe bill is admittedly stupid in its targeting of the affiliates. But Amazon would qualify as a CA retailer irrespective of the affiliates, according to the actual bill: http://www.aroundthecapitol.com/billtrack/text.html?bvid=20111AB2896ENR http://www.aroundthecapitol.com/billtrack/text.html?bvid=201... ""Retailer engaged in business in this state" specifically includes, but is not limited to, any of the following: (1) Any retailer maintaining, occupying, or using, permanently or temporarily, directly or indirectly, or through a subsidiary, or agent, by whatever name called, an office, place of distribution, sales or sample room or place, warehouse or storage place, or other place of business.
