Default Buying From Amazon, Dig A Little Deeper
If you’ve been enjoying sales tax-free purchases online, get ready for a major change. Amazon will begin collecting sales taxes from all states with a sales tax as of April 1, 2017. That’s no April Fool’s Day joke: it’s for real.

After years of fighting the imposition of sales tax on a state by state basis – from court battles to corporate exemptions – Amazon has been pursuing a different tack of late. The online retail giant has been adding – not fighting – states to its list of jurisdictions subject to sales tax. You can see the list as it appears today here.

The list is about to get a little longer. Next month, Amazon will begin collecting sales tax in Hawaii, Idaho, Maine, and New Mexico. Those four states are the last to be added to the list, rounding out a complete list of 45 states where Amazon will now collect sales tax. That means that as of next month, Amazon will be collecting sales tax nationwide.

And no, I didn’t skip the geography class: I know there are 50 states. Amazon won’t collect sales tax in Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon. Those states do not have a state sales tax.

Distribution center(s) here in Florida too. Bought a new beard trimmer yesterday...it was in the mailbox when I got home. Had I ordered before noon I would've had it by 9 last night.

I've bought from them before, so that ruling hurt me, personally, but it was the right decision. If you have a physical presence in the state, you need to be collecting and remitting taxes to Texas for your Texas sales.

Paid sales tax on kid's birthday present- ordered it yesterday (Washington State). Still a savings, considering they have to deliver it to the San Juan islands.

No sales tax for me.

Well, for a few more months. When we move to PA, I'll have to pay sales tax.

I wonder if bootleggers have started illegally importing lower taxed soda to Philly?

A friend of mine interviewed for the safety manager job last year at one they were building in Florida. I thought it was near Orlando but it could have been Jacksonville
