[Publib] Amazon

[Lori Lawrence]

I think the difference is the state in which you are located.  KS (as well as a handful of others) is a state for which Amazon is requierd to charge sales tax. IN is not on their taxed list.

Well, I have to admit we too have a corporate account that was set up by my predecessor and we have to do the whole faxing of the tax exempt form each time for a credit.  It's a pain...... I wonder if there is an option now we can check to only do it once??

How are you paying? We set up a corporate account with Amazon and have never had a problem with the sales tax exemption issue. When I go into Amazon to order, I just indicate that I'm using my corporate account, and we get a subsequent bill that includes no sales tax.

Have any of you tried Amazon's library services? Are there advantages?

We have experienced a problem purchasing from Amazon because of tax-free status. We get an invoice for each shipment, then we have to request a credit for the tax for each invoice. They wouldn't take our tax number and just omit the tax. When they broke strung out the deliveries and broke up the order into a lot of small pieces, this became a deal breaker for us.

 

Has anyone else been able to fix this problem???
