Amazon is putting customers in South Carolina on notice that they are responsible for paying sales taxes on purchases they made with the online retailer last year, according to a report in the Charleston Post and Courier.
Amazon does not collect sales taxes on merchandise shipped to South Carolina, as it does not in most states. Instead, residents are obligated to keep a record of their online purchases and remit the tax with their annual income return, but in practice, most consumers are either unaware of the requirement or ignore it, a condition that has led to billions of dollars in uncollected revenue and sent state government officials in search of new measures to recoup the money.
