Amazon will start charging sales tax in Michigan
Michigan Libraries - Amazon will start charging sales tax in Michigan on October 1. If you have let them know of your state sales tax exemption, what was the procedure? Do they require a mailed document? Can you just tell them the tax exemption number? Helen Helen Dewey Benzonia Public Library Board rhdewey@charter.net
If you are purchasing on behalf of a business, I highly suggest using Amazon Business Solutions ( http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=nav_swm_b2b_sln?ie=UTF8&node=11306076011&pf_rd_p=2073948862&pf_rd_s=nav-sitewide-msg&pf_rd_t=4201&pf_rd_i=b2b-nav&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0XVHWPW88BMVDYDRGREW ) We set up as a business and it's great. It's free. I uploaded our tax exempt certificate. You get FREE Two-Day shipping and business pricing on supplies like paper, pens, ink/toner, etc. I've set it up so that I can have multiple employees (my Head of Youth Services, my manager who purchases African-American fiction, and even my IT Specialist) can order using a PO system that I (and a designee) can approve before it's ordered. We're even using their 55-day Pay-in-Full Line of Credit (as of last week). It's great to get all that off the credit card. And, honestly, the best part is that when I call about a lost order or a return, I get a dedicated team of business for business account managers. So much better than before. Good luck!

We set up a new business account for our library last week. It wasn't very difficult. There was one thing that wasn't clearly spelled out on the Amazon site which might help someone else. If you have several people doing orders off of your business account, and they use their own payment methods, they each need to go through the tax-free setup process. Also, our city treasurer preferred to have us upload the Michigan tax form to Amazon (form 3372). By default, the Amazon site has you walk through an online process, but on the first screen there's a way to bail out of that and upload the document instead. Amazon approved the form within 24 hours, so they're quick even with the scanned forms. Bruce A. MacDonald Assistant Director / Head of Circulation Peter White Public Library Marquette, Michigan
