Many online shoppers in the United States have for years had to pay state sales taxes whenever they buy goods from Amazon except in some small states. Well, that’s quickly changing this year. Matt O’Brien reports: “Amazon customers in at least 10 states will begin paying sales taxes on their website purchases for the first time this winter. Tax collection begins Wednesday in Mississippi, Missouri, Rhode Island, South Dakota and Vermont. It already started this month in Louisiana, Iowa, Nebraska and Utah, and begins in Wyoming on March 1.” (abcnews)
