Amazon

Last week, Amazon reached a compromise with the state of California over sales taxes for online purchases.

To avoid the tax collection requirement, Amazon severed ties with its California-based affiliates. The retailer has even been working aggressively behind the scenes on a state ballot initiative to block implementation of the law.”
