questionsamazon will collect sales tax in texas. how about…
Not here yet, although our AG is apparently trying to force them
to collect. And it probably won't affect my buying habits too
much.   I think the state comptroller is grasping at straws,
trying to get a quarter billion dollars in back taxes from
Amazon. It'll likely continue to be a bit of a mess until the
lawmakers figure out how to properly deal with online purchases
and the varying tax laws.  I don't have a problem paying tax on
my Amazon purchases. The free ride had to end sometime.   I'm in
NY and pay 8.875% sales tax on many web purchases, including
most from Amazon and woot (NY's sales tax rules are rather
complicated and many items are exempt, eg. most clothing sold by
woot). In fact, my only emails to (two of them) have been about
sales tax that shouldn't have been charged.  On all purchases
from woot over $40 (not $30), the taxsucks code saves me $5.44,
even on items that don't have salestax added.  There are online
vendors (eg. Newegg)
