Shoppers and Store Owners React to Amazon Sales Tax
Marietta, GA – Many shoppers in metro Atlanta said while they don’t like to pay taxes, they understand why Georgia is now forcing Amazon to charge sales tax on internet purchases.
“When you buy something, you should pay taxes, no matter where you buy it,” said Jerry Pecue, of Marietta.
A new law that orders certain online retailers to collect sales tax went into effect Jan. 1. Amazon began collecting the tax Sept. 1.
