New Year, New Affiliate Tax Worries

Well, we are not even through the month of January yet, and the affiliate tax issue is already appearing in legislation in a couple of states. Currently living in Rhode Island, a state already living with an Amazon/Affiliate Tax nexus, and seeing the effects of such a bill, it is VERY important that affiliates reach out to their local representatives now!

It appears that an Amazon/Affiliate Tax bill could be voted on in the following states: Virgina, Colorado and Pennsylvania.

While this has no direct effect on SpinSix, or current SpinSix clients (as they already collect sales tax in those states), the industry as a whole has to take notice and stand up to protect affiliates in those states. We can’t allow what has happened in New York, North Carolina and Rhode Island happen again.

For more information on these proposed laws, and all things Affiliate Tax, please visit the Performance Marketing Association website.
