How did La. avoid it this long? Even TX collects that.

Was going to happen sooner or later.
Doubt it affects my buying habits.

I bought my wife a purse last week online and I paid $60 in taxes.

Because all of us just add it into the spot on our taxes in April.

Well damn, but I was actually wondering when this would start happening in various states.

Looks like Mississippi just moved up one spot to 49th on the Best States to Live List.
Thanks Louisiana!
Thanks Louisiana!

Amazon has warehouses in Texas (a physical presence) so they have to collect the tax there. I don't know what changed in Louisiana to cause them to begin collecting the tax here.

Well that sucks, but, probably won't affect my amazon purchasing.

This was a huge reason I shop so much on Amazon prime

All Louisiana on-line shoppers purchasing on Amazon were already reporting their taxable purchase, right?
Of course

Amazon has at least one warehouse/dist ctr. in TX.

The La. legis recently passed a law IIRC. Although I read somewhere it's not enforceable but I guess Amazon will bend and pass the buck over vs. fighting it out. NOLA.com article on internet sales Tax collection
