Amazon to begin charging state sales tax in Oklahoma Sa m Holzsc h u h S taff R epo rter @ oco lly

Stillwater city officials will celebrate a spike in revenue when Amazon starts collecting sales taxes Wednesday.

Amazon.com Inc. made a deal with Gov. Mary Fallin on Feb. 2 to begin collecting state sales tax. The company and Fallin agreed to add Oklahoma to the 39 other states where Amazon collects sales tax.

Stillwater citizens pay an 8.813 percent sales tax per dollar at businesses physically located in the city. Amazon will collect the same tax rate. The online

It’s just collect what we’re already due. That’s all I want.”

retailer is expected to remit the collection in May, Fallin said.

Stillwater City Manager Norman McNickle is a proponent of taxing online retailers. He said Amazon, along with about 350 other

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1, 2017

internet retailers, has not been required to participate in Oklahoma taxes. Retailers in Stillwater need to adapt to the digital age but leveling the playing field between them and internet retailers is overdue, McNickle said.

“To a degree, it’s kind of complicated,” he said. “It’s just collect what we’re already due. That’s all I want.”

Amazon, which McNickle said is a heavy competitor with Wal-Mart, is not legally bound to collect or remit sales tax, and it is not clear how long it will do so.

Molly Melder, a nutritional sciences freshman, said Amazon’s collecting sales tax is upsetting.

“I’ve always used Amazon for the little things that I can’t get in town,” Melder said. “It’s nice because they don’t charge tax (in Oklahoma) and typically no shipping.”

She said her business with Amazon probably won’t

change but she’ll check WalMart’s prices, too.

Hannah Morris, a human development and family science junior, said she is more optimistic.

“I didn’t know there was a such thing as online sales tax, but if it helps the city as a whole, I don’t mind paying a bit more,” Morris said. “So as long as Stillwater benefits from the arrangement, that’s what matters to me.”

McNickle said 3.5 cents of every sales tax collected, which is applied per dollar, in the city is Stillwater revenue. Because some shoppers choose tax-free internet retailers over city businesses, Stillwater might have lost roughly 15 percent in sales

tax revenue in the past fiscal year, McNickle said.

Tax revenue from Amazon will help Stillwater decrease the budget deficit of $13 million in its General Fund Budget of Fiscal Year 2017. City officials cut about $8 million out of the budget this year, McNickle said.

Although this seems like a new tax, Oklahomans are required to pay taxes for online purchases already.

Oklahoma’s use tax is the internet complement to sales tax, according to the Oklahoma Tax Commission. Oklahoma Senate Bill 337, if passed, would require internet retailers to report purchase information to the STORY continues on page 3

c over s t o ry STORY continued from page 2

state tax officials for use tax enforcement.

The responsibility of reporting the purchases fell on internet shoppers in Oklahoma until Fallin signed the Oklahoma Retail Protection Act of 2016 on May 17. The legislation requires internet businesses to either collect sales tax or send a “tax suggestion” to internet shoppers, McNickle said.

When an Oklahoman makes an online purchase, the retailer is required to notify him or her of the use tax owed after the purchase.

He or she would report online spending when filing taxes and pay the use tax, which mostly differs in name only from sales tax; however, only 4 percent of Oklahoma

taxpayers report their use taxes because enforcing the tax is almost impossible, McNickle said.

Amazon collected sales tax in only five states in 2011 and rejected business in some states to avoid taxation, according to the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy. The 10th Circuit U.S. Appeals Court, which included Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch, ruled in 2011 in favor of a Colorado law that contested the 1992 Quill Corp. v. North Dakota Supreme Court ruling.

Quill Corp. v. North Dakota established that requiring retailers without a physical presence in the state to collect sales tax was a barrier to interstate commerce.

Colorado’s “Amazon tax”

requires internet retailers to give purchase information, including names and addresses, to state tax collectors. The Supreme Court refused to review the 10th Circuit’s decision.

In the past six years, Amazon has opted to collect sales tax itself from 40 states. Five states do not levy sales tax on a state level. Not including those five, after Wednesday, Amazon will refuse to collect sales taxes only in Arkansas, Hawaii, Idaho, Maine and New Mexico, according to the Institute for Taxation and Economic Policy.

Blood drive to support injured OSU student A l l i Bad en S taff Repo rter @ o c olly

Oklahoma State University students will have the opportunity Thursday to help one of their own.

Stout Hall and the Office of Student Affairs are collaborating to host a creditto-patient blood drive to support an OSU student who fell from the fourth floor of the Wentz Parking Garage on Feb. 18.

A bloodmobile will receive donations from noon-5 p.m. Thursday in front of Stout Hall on University Avenue.

Honors College Dean Keith Garbutt sent out an email Tuesday saying the injured student is Blake Buck, an honors student and resident of Stout Hall.

Buck is no longer enrolled at OSU, according to the Office of the Registrar.

Carrie Hulsey-Greene, OSU public information officer, reported Feb. 18 a man fell from the top floor of the parking garage and was flown to the OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City.

Hulsey-Greene later said the person who fell was a juvenile, whose name was not released because of his age, and he remains hospitalized with severe head trauma.

The OSU police officer who responded to the scene said the person jumped from garage, according to the police report.

Buck’s medical treatment requires multiple blood transfusions, Day said. The average cost of a blood transfusion for a patient can reach about $219, according the National Center for Biotechnology Information.

To help with the cost, the Oklahoma Blood Institute will provide Buck with a credit-to-patient blood drive. This type of blood drive allows for financial reimbursement for blood processing fees insurance

does not cover, according to OBI’s website. Each unit of blood donated equals one credit of blood. One credit can cover up to 20 percent of blood processing fees, therefore reducing Buck’s medical bill.

Although Day said he believes all blood drives are important, this specific drive localizes the effort.

“It’s always important to give blood,” Day said. “In this case in particular, it will help a fellow OSU student with something that is a very real need for him and his family right now.”

The blood drive is a free event. Donors who want to participate should bring a photo ID to the bloodmobile.

OSU baseball ironing out roles heading into big week N atha n Ru iz I n vesti gat i v e Edi to r @ N ath an S Ruiz

Josh Holliday said he knows his team has some questions to answer.

Despite a 3-1 week and winning two of the Big 12’s three weekly awards, the Oklahoma State baseball team is working to iron out roles throughout its lineup and pitching staff as the season heads into its third week, said Holliday, OSU’s coach.

This was no clearer than in the ninth inning of the Cowboys’ 6-3 victory against Texas State on Sunday. Freshman right-hander Jonathan Heasley was called upon to close the game, al-

lowing a pair of baserunners in a shutout frame. Junior right-hander Blake Battenfield had previously served as OSU’s closer.

“We’ve got some looks down there and some roles and some opportunities that

we’re still working our way through,” Holliday said.

“Blake was ready to come in right behind him.”

The ninth inning will likely fall to Heasley again Wednesday when the Cowboys play Saint Louis (6-1)

The Vintage Apartments

at 4 p.m. at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium.

Battenfield is projected to start for the first time this season. His outing is a chance for OSU (4-3) to lower a 6.06 ERA from its starting pitchers through seven games. The staff overall has a 5.02 mark.

“We’re trying to get some guys some experience in some situations,” Holliday said. “Get them comfortable with pitching late in the

game and also figuring out where guys’ stuff plays the best.”

Offensively, the Cowboys have no questions about third baseman Garrett Benge, who is hitting .400 this season and was named Big 12 Player of the Week.

Although catcher seemed to be an open spot early, Travis Wacker has performed well, driving in eight runs last week en route to Big 12 Newcomer of the Week honors.

Shortstop, though, remains a spot of debate, with freshman Cameron Dobbs and junior Jacob Chappell competing.

Wednesday will prove to be a good test for OSU, as

the Cowboys head to Frisco, Texas, this weekend for the Frisco College Baseball Classic, where they’ll face Nebraska, Arizona and Arkansas, three teams they have faced in the postseason during the past two years.

“We’re still learning our team,” Holliday said. “We’re seeing how guys handle different situations and try to put them in some situations that right now, pre-conference, see how they handle it, and then know what our gameplan is, how to maximize our talent.”

By Nancy Black Tribune Content Agency Today’s Birthday (03/01/17). Fortune smiles on your family this year, especially after May. Discipline benefits your career.

Introspection and planning this August lead to breakthroughs in your health and labors. October adventures await you. After December, collaboration pays off. Together, you can accomplish anything.

To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 9 -- You’re full of profitable ideas today and tomorrow. Slow down and avoid accidents and breakage. Find clever efficiencies. Spontaneous actions can have long-lasting consequences.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is a 7 -- Check your course before speeding up. You make things look easy over the next two days. Act quickly, without spending recklessly. Appearances can be deceiving.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) -- Today is a 6 -- Slow down and finish things up today and tomorrow. Clarify directions, plans and arrangements. Record a vivid dream or idea. Consider what would be required.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Today is a 7 -- Rely on your team over the next few days. Plan and organize before launching into action. Spontaneity could get expensive. Define your vision.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is a 9 -- Reassess what needs to get done, and take charge today and tomorrow. Prepare for examination. Enlist an imaginative partner. Together, you can achieve amazing things.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is an 8 -- Educational seminars, classes and journeys prove valuable today and tomorrow.

Take time for long-range planning to avoid expense and risk. A surprising development requires adaptation.
