Amazon's (not so secret) war on taxes

In August 2010, Cheryl Lenkowsky, an auditor for the Texas state comptroller, sent a letter to a top tax executive at
Amazon.com's Seattle headquarters. At that point, Amazon had been selling a wide array of merchandise to Texans for 15 years
without collecting a penny of sales tax from them. Tax-free shopping was a delight for customers, a vital competitive edge for
the company -- and a hemorrhaging wound for state government.
Now, Lenkowsky informed the company, all that was about to end. Texas's audit, which had gone back four years, had resulted in
an "adjustment": a bill for uncollected taxes, plus penalties and interest -- $ 268,809,246.36 in all. Added Lenkowsky helpfully:
"We have included a pre-addressed envelope for your payment convenience."
Amazon responded fiercely. It appealed the assessment. It sued the comptroller for her audit records. It lobbied Rick Perry,
Texas's business-friendly governor. Most of all, Amazon insisted it had no "physical presence" in Texas -- the basis for the tax
claim -- despite owning and operating a 630,800-square-foot distribution center (with an Amazon.com flag in front of it) in a
Dallas suburb. When all that didn't work, the company shuttered the facility and threw its 119 employees out of work, vowing to
abandon the Lone Star State.
