I think those are the states in which they have a physical presence. I know their headquarters are in Washington, for example, and that they have a big distribution center in Kentucky. New York, though, may just have laws taxing ecommerce (I'm not certain).
- antiismist 18y agoNope, Amazon has distribution centers in 8 states, but they don't all get sales taxed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon.com#Fulfillment_and_warehousing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon.com#Fulfillment_and_ware...
- catone 18y agoI guess it would depend on the sales tax laws in each state. Some states require sales tax on ecommerce if there is a physical presence, some do not. Some require tax regardless. The argument I have always heard in relation to Netflix is that if Amazon were to acquire Netflix it would mean charging sale tax to a much greater number of customers. Netflix has many more established physical presences across the US: http://www.listology.com/netflix_tracker_reports.cfm?report=centers http://www.listology.com/netflix_tracker_reports.cfm?report=...
