Amazon will start collecting Sales Tax Nationwide April 1

No fooling - Amazon will begin collecting sales tax nationwide on April 1.

The mega-online retailer already adds sales tax to good shipped to 41 states - including Alabama,which began collecting and remitting an 8 percent sales tax on Amazon purchases late last year. CNBC reported Amazon will start collecting taxes in Hawaii, Idaho, Maine and New Mexico next month, completing its list of states. Alaska, Delaware, Oregon, Montana and New Hampshire don't collect sales tax.

Brick and mortar retailers have long complained that online stores such as Amazon have an unfair advantage because they didn't have to charge sales tax unless they had a physical presence in a state.

  2. I'm very Unhappy about this. It seems like all we do is pay taxes, and now we're even paying them to Amazon.

  5. Another win for Trump!

    Amazon has destroyed Sears, Macy's, J.C.Penney's and more by not charging taxes

  6. If you think Trump had anything to do with this, you're more brainwashed than I thought.
