Amazon Folds In California Sales Tax Deal

Posted by timothy on from the mussolini-would-be-proud dept.

theodp writes "In a deal indicating all sides appear ready to call a truce, the San Jose Mercury News reports that Amazon.com is offering to back down from its referendum drive to repeal an online sales tax in exchange for a one-year moratorium on collecting the tax. Under the deal, Amazon would agree to begin collecting the tax from California residents in September 2012, unless Congress takes action on Internet sales taxes before then. The development comes a day after a NY Times editorial ripped Amazon over its sales 'tax dodge.'"

    You need to tell Sacramento that. The waste and over-spending are out of control. Parent's comments justified in my opinion. It would be fine if they didn't simply piss our tax money away. But they demand more?? Come on, your a fool. If I wasn't compelled to comment I'd mod parent up and you down.

    Your making an assumption. Your an amateur idiot. I'm not playing anymore.
