On March 3, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled (PDF) for the taxpayers in Direct Marketing Association v. Brohl, a challenge to Colorado’s “Amazon tax.” That law requires Internet retailers to (1) notify their Colorado customers of the obligation to pay state taxes on their online purchases, with dates and total amounts, and (2) provide detailed information to the Colorado Department of Revenue on purchases made by Colorado customers. The Direct Marketing Association challenged the law in federal court as a violation of the Interstate Commerce Clause.
