Amazon threatens CA partner due to outstanding California nexus tax bills to end

Unfortunately it seems huge California next in the series for anti-affiliate nexus tax legislation could be. It is a very sad day for thousands of California-based subsidiaries, if these bills pass. And it sounds as those invoices are expected to pass, and the law comes into force within the next 2 days.

I wish, California would recognize they are not helping the economy of the State, but it hurt! They think, they will make, tax profits is by the economic losses due to small and large affiliate business income lose (therefore less income tax paying), having to release staff (put more burden on the State resources) be offset and/or movement of California, so that they can continue their business in more supporting countries.

The PMA made this foreshadowing announcement yesterday:

Warning: CA to nexus tax - effective immediately implement

Brown Governor of California has announced it has secured enough votes to pass bills including the affiliate nexus tax and 2 related nexus its budget: AB 153, AB 155 and SB-234. The law is in force immediately after signing, and he must before 1 July 2011 sign.

TheNextWeb reports:

Amazon is stopped due to the new tax law partner program in California.

Although the Bill is not passed yet, Amazon preemptively pulls the program in California. It apparently believes that you will pass into account and you will enter new tax legislation into force. Amazon says that the Bill is ' supported by big box retailers, of which the affiliate advertising programs most outside California, trying to damage their competitors are based.

Amazon uses California of affiliates as farmers in their tax fight - drag your AMAZON LINKS

Danny Sullivan captures the essence of SO many of the frustrating questions relating to this whole crappy tax nexus fighting - in particular the way, Amazon handled relations with partners.

A good point, he makes that I thought yet still not all of those subsidiaries end links that not only go, have passed on. Many Member organisations have several websites with hundreds or thousands of Amazon links. Most of the participants are too busy, links most definitely draw PLUS crawl, with the domino effect deal, follow by this unjust California tax law is. Amazon only injustice will benefit from our partners, who do not have time to detect and remove all the links.

Danny does well so many good points and really this issue summarizes. Read, weigh, vine blog/Tweet this showing your support for Danny's open letter.

And for God's sake - you drag all your AMAZON LINKS! They should benefit from your efforts after they you Royal screw. SCREW THEM!
