Affiliate Nexus Tax Laws: What's an Online Retailer to Do?

• Contact your congressman/woman and state senator to let them know you oppose these laws. Detail the negative impact that the law will have on jobs within the state.
• Join a trade group that supports similar interests in stopping these laws (the Performance Marketing Association is one such group).
• Contact other local retailers and reach out to media outlets with your story.

While it may feel as if you have little control over the outcome and effects of these laws, that's not the case. Online retailers need to be actively engaged in the political process, understand the potential impact these laws may have and create a plan of action that's best for your business. By doing so, these laws won't be an insurmountable roadblock for your business.
