Online book-selling monolith, Amazon.com, isn’t happy with the NY’s newly changed tax law that now requires “out-of-state internet retailers to collect sales taxes if they have a physical presence in the state.” Even though Amazon only sells its goods online, the state is claiming that the retailer’s “associates” program—whereby blogs and websites receive 10% in exchange for creating links that refer readers to buy the company’s stuff—are “considered sales representatives under the new law” and therefore Amazon must collect sales tax. |BizJournals|

I've been engaged in taxations for longer then I care to admit, both on the personal side (all my working lifetime!!) and from a legal standpoint since passing the bar and pursuing tax law. I've furnished a lot of advice and corrected a lot of wrongs, and I must say that what you've put up makes complete sense. Please uphold the good work – the more individuals know the better they'll be equipped to deal with the tax man, and that's what it's all about.
