Will the Internet Sales Tax Change Consumer Habits?

The U.S. Senate recently passed a bill that would allow states to collect sales tax on online purchases, potentially leveling the playing field between brick-and-mortar and online retailers. This may shift some purchases back to brick-and-mortar retailers, but it won't entirely change the trend of sales moving online. Fool editor Lauren Kuczala sat down with contributor Travis Hoium to see who the winners would be and why Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN  ) may benefit despite having to pay more in taxes on its purchases. 

Everyone knows Amazon is the king of the retail world right now, but at its sky-high valuation, most investors are worried it's the company's share price that will get knocked down instead of competitors'. The Motley Fool's premium report will tell you what's driving the company's growth, and fill you in on reasons to buy and reasons to sell Amazon. The report also has you covered with a full year of free analyst updates to keep you informed as the company's story changes, so click here now to read more.
