Amazon plans to begin charging sales tax on customer purchases made in Missouri in February.
According to Springfield new outlet, KY3, Amazon spokeswoman Jill Kerr confirmed the retailer will begin collecting sales tax in the state on Feb. 1, 2017.
According to a news release earlier this month from Amazon the company plans to create more than 100,000 new full-time jobs across the U.S. over the next 18 months.
Missouri is currently one of 17 states were Amazon does not have a distribution center according to the St. Louis Business Journal. The outlet reported earlier this month that the online retail giant is scouting the St. Louis area for a new distribution center.
