Nevada Business Group Presses Amazon to Collect State Sales Tax

A coalition of hotel/casinos and small businesses is launching a $50,000 advertising campaign to build support for a change in tax laws so Amazon.com and dozens of other e-commerce companies would have to collect state sales taxes when they sell goods to Nevadans. Leaders of the Retail Association of Nevada and the Nevada Resort Association planned a formal announcement detailing the proposals they hope to persuade state lawmakers to consider as amendments to pending legislation as early as this week.
