Amazon.com and the Texas Comptroller said Friday that Amazon will begin to collect Texas state sales tax beginning July 1, in an agreement that Comptroller Susan Combs said "resolves all sales tax issues between Texas and Amazon."

Shouldn't everyone be grateful that Amazon is now going to be doing all the work for you instead of having to keep track of your purchases and pay the taxes on your own?

Yeah.... I made that argument in TP.
Yes, I remember who I made it to as well.... let's just say we won't be voting for the same guy this year in the presidential election.
Good news is we have 1.5 months left without Amazon adding tax to our orders.
Bad news - Tax time.
Good news for Best buy, walmart and others is that Amazon loses there tax advantage...

Cali is a prime example of both.
- Amazon typically offers a price better on many items compared to Best Buy or Walmart. For example, I've been eyeing an iPad 2 keyboard/case and Amazon sells many of the popular ones for $20-$30 less. Taxation aside, you're still saving $20-$30!!!
- Amazon carries brands/items that you wouldn't normally find in a brick & mortar store.
- I'd much rather deal with Amazon's awesome Customer Service instead of dealing with the tools at Best Buy, let alone at Walmart.
I hope the chain goes down in flames...even though it never will.
Amazon is wonderful.
Supriya S:Hello Ruy.
Me:Hi
Supriya S:Yes Ruy, Amazon.com LLC and Amazon Digital Services, Inc. are required to charge sales tax on orders shipped to destinations in Kansas, Kentucky, New York, North Dakota, Texas (effective July 1, 2012) and Washington.
Me:So, now what makes Amazon different from Walmart, Best buy, etc?
The only reason I would buy off Amazon was because of no Tax.
Supriya S:I'm sorry but in this situation the only option for me is to forward your feedback to our concerned department as we are not authorized to handle tax issues.
