<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Related to the conversation about
Amazon charging sales tax, I was informed by one of their third
party sellers (whom we've frequently purchased from in the past)
that they "do not offer tax-exempt shipments to states that
require us to collect sales tax." The representative suggested I
submit the invoice to our local tax agency (i.e. the State of
Michigan) for reimbursement.<br>
<br>
The order was fulfilled by Motor City Books, but the customer
service representative who replied to my email had all of the
following resellers in his/her signature line: Thrift Books |
Green Earth Books | Motor City Books | Atlanta Book Company | Blue
Cloud Books | Yankee Clipper Books | Books Squared | Silver Arch
Books | Free State Books | Sierra Nevada
Books. Therefore we won't be ordering used books from any of those
vendors. <br>
<br>
Just thought I'd share.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Jessica<br>

I called the business number available online and an agent

<font face="Times New Roman"><font style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">did
this yesterday. I just went through Amazon's
preformatted sales tax exemption procedure. It is
under Your Account>>Settings>>Amazon Tax
Exemption Program and enter your password. You can
either upload the State form or walk through Amazon's
steps. If filled it out yesterday and is is already
active. I haven't ordered yet and I think there is
some caveat language that the Amazon certificate
doesn't carry over to third party providers. It was
pretty easy.</font></font><br>

Subject: [Michlib-l] Amazon will start charging sales tax
in Michigan <br>
<br>
> Michigan Libraries - <br>
> Amazon will start charging sales tax in Michigan on
October 1. If you have let them know of your state sales
tax exemption, what was the procedure? Do they require a
mailed document? Can you just tell them the tax exemption
number? <br>
