Illinois Sales Tax Attorney on Amazon

Illinois has taken away its only sales tax freebie – yes, the IDOR is now charging sales tax on Amazon products. Prior to today, Illinois residents were able to purchase products on Amazon and have them delivered to their home while saving the sales tax. Depending on were you live, the savings could have been between 6.25% to 9.5%. Starting today, You will be paying sales tax on Amazon products.
The Market Place Fairness Act has been cited in the past for a reason as to why the IDOR has been pushing for sales tax to be implemented on Amazon purchases. The Politicians feel as though this creates a more level playing field for retailers.
