  • ‘Amazon loophole’ could close in Va. sales tax

    I first saw the reports of how much the state is missing out on in revenue due to this when working alongside the Commonwealth Institute. We’re talking about ~24 million, a number that is only likely to grow in the future.

    I’m a big Amazon fan, and while we should aggressively position ourselves as a state friendly to economic innovation, we shouldn’t be allowing structural deficits in our state budget grow in order to facilitate this.
