  • Amazon was incorporated in Washington state.....until 1996, re-registered in Delaware.

    As previously posted, if your state of residence requires sales tax be collected for purchases of goods/services online, tax is charged. Florida law was changed a few years back, but in cleverfashion. If an online retailer has a brick and mortar presence in Florida, they must collect Florida sales tax on orders shipped to Florida addresses; can't swing a dead cat without hitting an Amazon facility in Florida. Ditto for Lowe's, Home Depot and on & on.....

    So Amazon is registered in Washington State, so when I order from them the tax charged should be the tax rate from Washington State and not the location where I am located, as is done now?

    Not really the tax is charged by Amazon based on the delivery address, home is Minnesota, items shipped here to Oregon is not taxed

    Just a question is a membership a service?

  • State of Arizona statute? A number of states tax goods and services.
