The American Booksellers Association and Civic Economics have released Amazon and Empty Storefronts.
Here's an excerpt:
In 2014, Amazon sold $44.1 billion worth of retail goods nationwide, all while avoiding $625 million in state and local sales taxes.
That is the equivalent of 3,215 retail storefronts. . . which might have paid $420 million in property taxes.
A total of more than $1 billion in revenue lost to state and local governments, $8.48 for every household in America.
