Victory! Amazon Will Collect and Remit Sales Tax in All States With Sales Tax Laws

Victory! Amazon Will Collect and Remit Sales Tax in All States With Sales Tax Laws







This story took like 9 years in the making.  Way back when it started, every independent book retailer lost sales online trying to comply with adding sales tax on every sale. This resulted on online book buyers merely going to Amazon as they did not have to pay additional sales tax adding up to the cost of each book.

This finally vindicated the fact that no one is above bigger than Uncle Sam. And besides we as taxpayers benefit from paying taxes. It was years of advocacy initiatives with fellows from the American Booksellers Association. Finally, it is done and Amazon will start collecting Sales Tax by April 1, 2017.

Nowadays when it's getting much and much impossible to think of profitability in selling books, when even E-Commerce platforms offering advanced website integrations and SEO's do not want to go to books as a category stating it's really so fast moving, cheap prices and hardly profitable.

When this blog was created also 9 years ago when a soon to be retiree or an employed person can simply open an online bookselling store front and make extra supplemental income selling books online. It was also the time that the penny ($0.01) drop shippers were starting to proliferate the Amazon Selling platforms. The years that followed and ensued is already a known fact how it drastically affected the bookselling industry especially new bookseller rookies trying the vast world of bookselling.

For now, we just have to pause and celebrate this victory. Moving forward next month, hopefully book buyers realizes that buying online is the same as going to the retail store and pay sales tax. The only difference if ever is the deep bargains and discounts normally found on the internet than going to a physical storefront.

Kudos to the advocates on this issue including the United States Supreme Court.

The Elections are Over, now we heal towards change and recovery

We did our parts in spite of the risk even to our own self, safety and integrity. We placed everything on the line because some thing needs to be done. Yet, we were victorious, we were right and we have persevere. Today is a new world, it is time to unite, get over it and live towards the present and the future. Over the so much uncertainties, challenges and opposition beneath the odds change has come to America and soon to be the world. Change is about fundamental values. It needs to come from own individual self. Only when we start to forgive the people that had question us, attack us, mock on us because of our believes can we fully start to feel the healing of repentance. It is just a mere acknowledgement of saying it is done and we have chosen the right man to lead the change. Never before did we see a president that was not afraid of ratings, off traditional politics and most of all the giants of corporate greed. To people that have question me I say, I forgive
