The way the law works is that only retailers with "affiliate marketers" in GA will have to add tax. The way Amazon and other retailers have dealt with this is by terminating their relationships with affiliates in states with the sales tax. There are 6,000+ affiliate marketers in Georgia.
from potpiegirl.com:
In the middle of that brawl, the ones hurt the most, will be the Georgia Affiliates – like me and who knows how many other thousands of other Georgia Amazon Associates.
How much do Georgia affiliates make? I’ve read a number of $483 million dollars generated by Georgia affiliates – and TAXED by the State of Georgia.
That’s less income tax money for Georgia – and that much less money circulating and being spent in the State of Georgia.
So the “solution” looks more like this:
Georgia causes Amazon to fire me.
I don’t have that revenue stream anymore.
I make less money each year.
I pay LESS INCOME TAX to the State of Georgia.
I spend LESS money here in the State of Georgia (meaning less tax revenue generated by me).
