Amazon.com sends termination notices to its California Associates program members as Governor Jerry Brown signed the law that requires online retailers to collect sales taxes even though they don’t have any physical presence in California.
Hello,
Unfortunately, Governor Brown has signed into law the bill that we emailed you about earlier today. As a result of this, contracts with all California residents participating in the Amazon Associates Program are terminated effective today, June 29, 2011. Those California residents will no longer receive advertising fees for sales referred to Amazon.com, Endless.com, MYHABIT.COM or SmallParts.com.
Would you still purchase products from Amazon if they were charging Sales Tax?
