|
|
A shopping mall developer is suing Indiana because it says "Main Street" retailers are being harmed by the state's failure to collect sales tax from Amazon.com. Simon Property Group said it requested the state begin collecting sales taxes on sales made by Amazon.com, and said its failure to do so was creating an unequal playing field in Indiana that jeopardized the existence of Main Street retailers and threatened the employment of hundreds of thousands of retail employees in the state.
In a press release issued on Thursday, Simon Property Group said, "As a proud Indiana company which employs thousands of Hoosiers, Simon Property Group believes we have a responsibility to ensure the laws are equally applied to everyone."
