    Default Amazon Starts Collecting 2.9% CO Sales Tax - Starts 1 February 2016

    Alright!! Amazon is going to help the government confiscate even more of your money.

    Including Colorado, Amazon will be collecting sales taxes on purchases from 28 states come February.

    In the past, as an out-of-state retailer, Amazon did not assess state sales tax on purchases made by Coloradans, as consumers are supposed to voluntarily self-report and pay use tax directly to the state.

    So, what has changed? Did Amazon open a store in Colorado?

    The only other time I have seen this is on bodybuilding.com. They mention something like they can collect sales tax if you do not voluntarily report them. If they do not have a store in CO, I shouldn't have to pay tax on it IMO.

    My guess is that they want to start a prime delivery service here which will give them a "nexus" in Colorado, requiring the collection of taxes.

    What do you mean start it? I have had that for years now. I order something and it is here in two days.

    It sounds like they are opening a call center or distribution center somewhere in the state which then makes them located in Colorado, thus the requirement. Seems like they should just stay in one state that is not very populated and then the other 49 can enjoy the no taxes deal.

    I'm not talking the normal 2 day delivery, this would be an amazon owned or contracted delivery service that would deliver from a local warehouse.

    Ahh gotcha, saves them money and costs us slightly more. I suspect that is where the drones come into play eventually.

    My theory is simple. Greed. The state wants our money and now they are getting it. Simple.
    SomeBody in power had to make Amazon start charging sales tax. Who? Nobody is saying.
