Tax??
I just bought an Amazon ebook and in my confirmation email saw where I was charged tax. Have I just not noticed this before, or did Amazon just start doing this?

Did you purchase the book from Amazon.com LLC, or from a Select Amazon Merchant?

Quite a few Amazon merchants charge tax in North Carolina, including Harper Collins, Penguin Group, Simon & Schuster Digital, Random House Digital, etc.

It depends on the publisher. According to Amazon.com:


Quote:
Kindle books, subscriptions and active content titles sold by various publishers are subject to sales tax based on the publisher's tax reporting obligations and the taxability of digital books in those regions. As a result, sales tax for Kindle books sold by the publisher may differ from the sales tax to which you've been accustomed for Kindle products.
You can see the list of publishers at the link.
