NJ merchants say online-only businesses like Amazon have an unfair tax advantage
As far as local retailers are concerned, Web retailing behemoth Amazon.com and its other out-of-state online-only competitors should begin charging their New Jersey customers sales tax now. Right now.
The local shop owner has to tack 7 percent tax on top of every sale. So does any Internet retailer that has an office, be it a warehouse or a store, in the Garden State, such as Barnes & Noble. (Willis, Gannett)
