Amazon now Offering Jobs in lieu of Sales Taxes
In its latest move to avoid collecting sales tax, Amazon has offered the state of Texas a promise of 5 thousand new jobs and the construction/expansion of distribution centers worth $300 million.
TechFlash is reporting Amazon is trying to trade the new jobs in exchange for a sales tax exemption. Amazon would invest the $300 million in Texas over the next 3 years and in return Amazon would get a 5 year free pass.
This would be a pretty good deal for Amazon; it needs to build more distribution centers anyway.
