Amazon
Amazon charges sales tax in all but 4 states that have sales tax. Amazon has huge warehouses all over the country. There was one in southern Kansas but it has closed.
It was so it could ship to states with more population and avoid sales tax. Now that it collects tax almost in every state, it is building 2 huge warehouses in Edgerton KS and Kansas City KS.Both are close to Interstates and rail hubs. Both will employ over 1,000 workers.
States are tough on nexus. Even an employee who just regularly visits a state creates nexus. It's more than just sales tax a company has to collect, it also creates am income tax liability. Also if a company has offices, showrooms or warehouses there's personal property tax on all equipment.
