Amazon Is About To Start Collecting Sales Tax On Maryland Orders

Amazon.com Inc. on Oct. 1 will begin collecting Maryland's 6 percent sales tax on online orders, a practice that was expected to begin once the company established a presence in the state.

Customers purchasing items online from Amazon have avoided the sales tax because Amazon didn't collect it. But once Amazon announced it would build a fulfillment center on Broening Highway in Baltimore, it became clear the sales tax collection would start — it was just a matter of when.

The state Board of Revenue Estimates estimates in December that Amazon's sales tax collection would amount to about $50 million in new revenue annually. Including the increase from Amazon, the state projects it will collect $4.15 billion in sales taxes next year, a 5.2 percent increase.

    This happens with any company that ships from Maryland not just Amazon. Once again we are punished for living in this state. It is Maryland law. The only way Amazon could have prevented this was to put the warehouse in another state.

    Amazon's founder bought the Washington Post. He had no objection to kissing OweMalley's wallet pocket so putting the warehouse in MD and putting the screws to MD customers didn't cause him to lose any sleep.

    Motivated to shop elsewhere now.
