Amazon Stops Associates Program For Connecticut Following Sales Tax Dispute

Posted by Brad Wasson in "Digital Home Talk" @ 06:00 PM

"Prompting Amazon's breakup with Connecticut is a new state law that attempts to tax the eCommerce giant through its Associates Program. This program allows website owners to place Amazon.com ads on their sites, and then receive a percentage of any purchases made through those ads, the Examiner's Michael Santo explains."

A new state law attempts to tax Amazon through its Associates Program. This program allows website owners to place Amazon.com ads on their sites, and then receive a percentage of any purchases made through those ads. Under the new law, online retailers (not just Amazon) who have agreements with locally owned websites are considered to have a presence in that state, and are thus subject to sales tax. MaximumPC has the intricacies of the whole story, available through our Read link.
