While Amazon plans to fight New York's recent decision to start collecting, the company has updated its tax collection page to let NY customers know that it will begin collecting tax on June 1st.

The state of New York recently passed legislation which requires any company with affiliates in the state to collect taxes on any items sold in New York. That covers companies like Amazon which allow individual bloggers and web site operators to add links to Amazon products on their web sites.

They always did collect taxes if you buy something that is from one of their associated stores, like Target, is in your state.

Just use Amazon Marketplace, no taxes there but the shipping is not free.
