Amazon famously started life in the “no-taxes ever” column. More recently,
the Bezos-driven behemoth emerged from its chrysalis with a pair of
sales tax wings. Starting September 1st, Amazon adds two states, Virginia and
Georgia, to its growing stable of states in which it collects sales tax and
remits it to the state.
Amazon already collects sales tax in Arizona, California, Kansas, Kentucky,
New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington. See About Sales Tax on Items Sold by Amazon.com.
Plus, Amazon taxes are coming soon to Connecticut, Massachusetts, Nevada and
Indiana. See Amazon Will Begin Collecting Sales Tax in Georgia.
