Woot. I'm pretty sure this will finally push many of the other Affiliate Tax laws off the books as well. /dancesajig

- _delirium 15y agoIn states where Amazon has no presence, probably (if other courts agree), but with some of the states going after Amazon, like Texas and California, the status is murkier, because Amazon has a physical presence there, but via subsidiaries, which it argues don't count, but the states argue do count. They seem to be settling those cases and conceding the point, though; they've agreed to start charging sales taxes in Virginia and California next year, and Indiana, South Carolina, and Texas sometime in the next two years.
- forrestthewoods 15y agoWould it make sense to charge sales tax on sales done through affiliates but not the rest of Amazon? Or maybe it's already done that way?
- chris11 15y agoHopefully Amazon allows Colorado affiliates again.
- camz 15y agorealistically thats never going to happen. sales tax law is broken because they're not accounting for internet retail companies and its because its a recent phenomena and the law has yet to adapt from the old school brick and mortar/catalog system. things are changing and they're not going back.
