Maryland Affiliate Tax - SB 824

[Bofu2U]

Excerp: "Providing that for purposes of the definition of "engage in the business of an out-of-state vendor" under the sales and use tax law a seller shall be presumed under specified circumstances to have an agent, canvasser, representative, salesman, or solicitor operating in the State for the purpose of selling or taking orders; providing that the presumption may be rebutted by specified proof; etc."

If it passes, a lot of MD affiliates will get terminated from most of the CPS programs.

If you're in MD, speak up son. Last one was here, and got shot down. It's back. Sigh.

This better get shot down again...

All states that are hungry for quick enormous amounts of cash should just legalize marijuana and tax the shit out of it. Hai surplus!

Leave the internet alone.

There's at least a shot, it failed last year.

Colorado affiliates were just term'd by Amazon. Sigh.

I didn't hear anything from Amazon and i'm in Colorado. The bill didn't pass here, we defeated it. They removed all affiliate related wording.

I moved out of Maryland, but one of my businesses is still legally there. I might have to take care of that.

Gary Rosenzweig (rosenz) on Twitter I've been following him for it.

Yeah, definitely. The other problem is that it goes off of where you get paid, so if you personally are in MD but your corp is NV it still counts I believe. Le sigh.

 

[rogerrabbit]

Seconded...

[Prosperent]

Well, good thing we don't use amazon in our ad network then.

Get a virtual address. This can easily be avoided if you incorporate in another state and get your mail forwarded to wherever you live.
