Taxes on Amazon goods sold in Hawaii

“Amazon will begin collecting sales tax in the state of Hawaii beginning April 1, 2017,” the company wrote in a statement"....

Well, it is now almost history that when shopping online from Amazon, there is not sales tax added. That changes in a couple of months. Interestingly to the quote, we don't have "sales tax", we have "excise tax".

Re: Taxes on Amazon goods sold in Hawaii

Oops in my last post I said the change was coming in months .... I meant weeks. And that that time has now now come. I have already made an online purchase after the implementation of taxation, and it had no affect on whether or not I ordered from Amazon. As it was before, I shop online by the price of the item and on the cost of delivery. [Yeah Amazon Prime!]. The addition of the tax was a non-issue for me when making my recent purchase.
