Get ready to pay more $$$ for SS
« on: July 01, 2011, 04:23:47 AM »
As of 7-1-11 a New California State Law went into effect.

All internet commerce will now HAVE to pay Cali State Sales Tax from any Company based in Cali.
So now expect to pay 10%? state sales tax on all SS or any other company based in Cali on all internet purchases.

I am waiting for a response from SS to my inquiry about the new law & how it'll effect me?  TOTAL BS!!!
I hope SS moves out of Cali soon.

I saw Amazon just moved a bunch out. I'd be curious as to how this will effect people outside Cali because unless I'm there buying I shouldn't be charged tax.

From what I have read, all online retailers are required to charge Cali State Sales tax on all purchases by anyone from any state.

Amazon got an "exemption"  WTF!!  How does the #1 online retailer get exempt from new law?!?!?!? but SS doesn't?

If thats the case that blows.

Because Amazon was threatening to pull out a bunch of jobs and hurt the economy even more in Cali.

Yeah, I would imagine they will be part of it too.

It is all online retailers except Amazon, which I don't buy from?

My question to SS? Does the "new law" apply to orders placed after 7-1-11 or is it retroactive & apply to all preorders??
For me its a big deal with 4 PFS coming + figs + statues + Blueprints +Dewback!!
I have gotten no response from SS?  I really hope everyone inquires all online retailers in Cali to get details.
This really isn't fair to anyone who isn't a Cali resident. Cali is so far in debt this will only lead to a loss in online sales
& online retailers leaving Cali.  Amazon is now building a HUGE warehouse in TN because we have no State Income Tax & our taxes are lower.
This will not save Cali from its overwhelming debt. I don't understand why the only part of the economy that is actually growing has to be taxed
which means less will buy in the future?

My guess is it will apply to all orders as they are charged as thats when they actually become sales. Until then they're not so you can't charge tax on items you're not taking money for. Personally, I would think it the negative effect on orders would be there as well especially since people are paying shipping to get their stuff. I could see more folks order things via Alter Ego than direct from Sideshow but time will tell on that I suppose.

What sux for collectors is the Port of L.A. is where most stuff is shipped into from China,Japan,S.Korea pretty much everywhere that makes
toys. If you find out more let me know, I'll keep investigating.

Was talking to a friend of mine in Cali and they said that the online purchases only will be affecting those already living in Cali. Gonna have to check this out now myself and see what the deal is.

Well, from looking around its only going to affect residents of California and not us. Which sucks for them for sure but good for us. I think everyone will be safe before, during, and after Comic-Con. lol
