North Carolina Budget to Include #advertisingtax

As best as I can follow on the news today, it seems that North Carolina is going to pass their budget today or very soon and the final version includes the advertising/affiliate tax.

According to Melanie Seery of AffiliateVoice:

It is expected that North Carolina, like Rhode Island, will have a strict interpretation of the nexus definition.

Meaning, merchants are going to pull out (not Legacy Learning Systems though!) immediately as the law becomes effective immediately.? Any merchant whose North Carolina affiliates earn $10,000 or more in sales made to North Carolina residents, much charge the tax.

So many people have fought this.? So many affiliates banded together, organized, and worked tirelessly to prevent this from happening.? Unfortunately, the result was not what any of us wanted, but I have to say it was nice to see everyone join together for a common cause.

If you are not in North Carolina, let this be a warning to your state!? Start taking action now before you begin the fight against these taxes.? Did North Carolinians and the rest of us fighting this wait too long?? Maybe, maybe not.? But what if we had all started even sooner?

Be prepared to fight this tax in your state now!
