Colorado Stands Alone (Idiots)

[ronaldrwl]

The Colorado legislation, known as HB 10-1193 in an attempt to collect more taxes just killed all the Colorado-based Amazon Associate businesses. I got the email this morning.


“We are writing from the Amazon Associates Program to inform you that the Colorado government recently enacted a law to impose sales tax regulations on online retailers. The regulations are burdensome and no other state has similar rules.”
…
“Regrettably, as a result of the new law, we have decided to stop advertising through Associates based in Colorado.”
…


Another example of raising taxes or adding new taxes has the effect of reducing taxes collected. Now Colorado is the only state where you can't collect referral's from Amazon. It was only a small part of my business but it's gone now.

I'm wondering if Ritter signed this before or after he banged his head.

That aspect of the law never occurred to me. Sorry to hear you will be loosing business.

Another wonderful bit of fallout from Ritter's well-thought-out, effective campaign to seperate all of us peons from our money. And piss us off in the process.

I'd say that dumb prick should have wrecked it much harder.

So is this all online retailers. So if I ordered some ammo from Cabelas.com is it taxed?

Well, there goes most of the advantage of an internet ordered Russian bride....


Is there a difference between mail ordering something and internet? Is there already a tax for mail order stuff? What if you just call the company and order like that?

I just bought a upper receiver online last week and they (Stag) did not charge me tax. I wonder if I will be taxed at some point.
