Texas Sends Amazon.com a $269 Million Tax Bill

It has been said everything is bigger in Texas and looks like Texas is out to prove that fact. Claiming the company failed to collect sales tax on items it sold, the state billed Amazon for the back payment. In the vernacular of the state, don’t mess with Texas, boy.

Amazon.com Inc said in a filing on Friday that the state sent the company an assessment in September for uncollected sales taxes from December 2005 to December 2009, including interest and penalties.
