The Internet Retailer reports:
Scott Kluth runs CouponCabin.com from an office in downtown Chicago. Some days, he says, he can see Indiana from the top of his company’s building.
Even though Friday was typically grey and frigid, the kind of weather for which the Second City is infamous, Indiana was looking brighter this morning than ever before.
That’s because Kluth says he faces the loss of up to a third of his business if Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn signs into law a measure that would require online retailers such as Amazon.com and Overstock.com to collect taxes of 6.25% on web purchases made by state residents that came to those retail sites from Illinois-based web sites like CouponCabin.com.
