Amazon (an incredible company) has an unfair tax advantage on internet sales. For most sales local and state taxes are not levied.
I use Amazon as it is quick and efficient at an equal or lower price.
I feel they should pay state and local taxes where the item is ordered from. Thus the local stores will be on an equal competitive basis with Amazon. Here in Texas that will cost me 8-1/4% and this is fair.
Amazon is opening a distribution center in VA so I guess there goes my tax deferral.
