Louisiana started in January. They also raised the sales tax 1% last year as well. Greedy cocksuckers. I now pay 10.5% sales tax on stuff.

It was only a matter of time. And I think it's only fair to stores with a physical location that have to charge sales tax. And frick Walmart.

Can't say how it will work in Arkansas, but in Alabama, they only charge tax on things sold by Amazon. There are thousands of other resellers on Amazon and if you purchase from them, no tax. At least that's what I've found so far. Some even still offer Prime shipping if you're a Prime member.

Amazon collects 6% in Kentucky. I'm sure the State has a special deal with Amazon since they're building a $1.5 billion hub at Northern Kentucky's Cincinnati International Airport.

In Alabama, sales tax was added back last fall. November 1.
Here's what's in it for Amazon. They collect 8% (sales tax here across the state is around 9%, with the state, county, and city splitting it someway). They submit the 8% by a certain deadline, and the state will reimburse them 2%.
So, effectively by charging sales tax, amazon has increased revenues in Alabama by 2%.
Do note that the added sales tax only applies to items sold by Amazon, not a 3rd party. There are many 3rd party sellers on Amazon.

Already charging tax in Alabama, but I use Amazon and never have to pay that tax because of a giant loophole, Amazon only adds that tax to items AMAZON SELLS and PACKAGES, the VAST majority of items you can buy on Amazon are not sold and packaged by Amazon, so simply buy from the other party that's listed on most every item sold.
