Amazon.com has filed suit
against the state of New York, alleging that the new state statute requiring Amazon to collect sales tax is unconstitutional.

They said they would and they did. Amazon has filed suit in New York challenging the constitutionality of the state’s newly signed measure requiring out-of-state online retailers to collect sales tax on purchases made by residents of the state. The company maintains that because it has no physical presence in the state it has no nexus requiring it to collect tax. The New York statute

says that members of Amazon’s affiliates program does in fact provide nexus.

We totally support Amazon and its lawsuit. Consumers are being taxed to death: have you looked at your phone bill lately? Or your airline ticket? Amazon has no nexus in the and sales tax should not be charged. End of story.
