Will you be hurt by the advertising tax?

by Shawn Collins on April 14, 2009

I am working on a feature story for the June 2009 issue of FeedFront Magazine on affiliates being impacted by the “advertising tax” in their state.

If you are not familiar with the issue, this is state legislation that results in affiliates being considered a physical presence for a merchant, so that sales tax is charged to customers in the state.

I am looking for affiliates in New York who have been impacted already by the advertising tax, as well as those in CA, CT, MD, MN, and any other state where there is legislation being considered.

Watch the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3_txk_k9os for a quick explanation of the advertising tax.

If you’re interested in participating and being featured in the article, submit your information by April 24, 2009 and I will be in touch.

Hi Shawn,

A portion of our ads are from affiliates, yet we have affiliate partners from different states and countries. Yes, we're affected – but not as much as an affiliate-only network.

Would like to provide any info I can for your article.
