- A Tennessee Amazon customer filed a class action lawsuit claiming Amazon overcharged him and others on sales tax for third-party marketplace purchases.
- The lawsuit alleges Amazon charged a higher sales tax rate (9.5%) than required (9.25%) and refused to correct the issue when notified.
- Plaintiffs seek a court order to stop Amazon’s alleged overcharging, repayment of excess taxes, legal costs, and punitive damages.
- Tennessee law requires Amazon, as a marketplace facilitator, to collect and refund the correct sales tax, but Amazon allegedly refused refunds.
- The lawsuit currently covers about 40 Tennesseans but suggests similar issues may exist elsewhere.
