Query:
Looking for commentary/insight on item below. Due to tight
deadline, fee free to send comments via e-mail or we could set up
a quick phone interview. In mid-May, the South Carolina House
of Representatives reversed itself and voted for a tax break
aimed at attracting an Amazon distribution center in Cayce, just
outside the capital of Columbia. It would come in the form of a
five-year exemption to the company from collecting sales tax on
merchandise that passes through the center and goes out to South
Carolina customers. State officials estimate the break will cost
the state treasury $10 to 15 million. The vote was a significant
defeat for Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Home Depot, Target and other
brick-and-mortar sellers who complained that their online rival
was being given an unfair advantage. South Carolina is the
latest front in an escalating nationwide battle over whether and
how states should seek to capture sales tax revenue generated by
e-commerce. Looking for comments from, lawmakers, and others on
if the state be handing out deals like this to huge corporations?
Why not for smaller competitors?
