Online Retailers Cut Off More Affiliates over Sales Tax Legislation
Recently passed legislation which forces online retailers to collect sales tax is already having an effect on the way they do business. Both Amazon.com Inc. and a successful online jewelry retailer, Blue Nile Inc., have cut off their affiliate marketing referral program from those living in the state of Rhode Island. This is not the first time they have felt the need to do this as states are increasingly taking these measures. Both companies have already had to cut off their programs to North Carolina; Amazon has done the same to those participating in the program in Hawaii.
