Amazon shares fall after Supreme Court ruling on sales tax, as brick-and-mortar retailers gain
Amazon.com Inc. shares slid 1.1% Thursday while bricks-and-mortar store operators rallied, after the Supreme Court ruled that states have the right to collect sales taxes on internet companies that do not have a physical presence in their states. Wayfair Inc. said in a statement that it “already collects and remits sales tax on approximately 80% of our orders in the U.S., a number that continues to grow as we expand our logistics footprint.” The online furniture retailer doesn’t expect the ruling to have a “noticeable impact” on its business.

For Most Online Retailers, the Online Sales Tax Decision Is a Non-Story
The individual states that make up this nation can now insist that ecommerce companies like Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Wayfair (NYSE:W) and Overstock.com (NASDAQ:OSTK) collect and remit online sales tax for goods sold to those states’ residents. The U.S. Supreme Court made the online sales tax decision on Thursday, overturning a rule that had been in place since 1992. Each state will decide for itself if it wants to pursue the matter, but with a total of more than $13 billion and maybe as much as $33 billion worth of online sales tax revenue up for grabs, most states likely will.

Previously, digital retailers weren’t legally required to collect sales taxes in states in which they didn’t have a physical presence.
