Most Online Shoppers Not Influenced by Sales Tax

August 3, 2009 by Shawn Collins

One of the negative impacts of the advertising tax has been that merchants have chosen to kick affiliates out of their affiliate programs to avoid charging sales tax to consumers.

The assumption here is that people shopping online are less likely to make a purchase if they have to pay tax.

But when I asked “When you shop online, are you less likely to buy if you have to pay sales tax?“, 73% of 237 respondents answered “no”.
