Amazon can't or won't collect sales tax in Australia

Re: 47 different state sales taxes

it's even more complicated than that!

my address is Bothell, which is in King County, except I don't live in Bothell City limits, I'm in unincorporated Snohomish county. For 3 years, Amazon charged me King County tax (9.5%) when in fact my actual tax rate is 6.5% - all because my address said Bothell.

Cue an hour on the phone with customer services and a large refund.....
