As a Utah based affiliate marketing agency, we know first hand the negative effects tax nexus has on local affiliates/bloggers. We work with retailers across the country and have met with their Legal departments regarding tax nexus. Almost 100% of the time Legal will recommend cutting ties with all affiliates within the tax nexus state (in this case Utah.) The result is loss of income/employment and no additional tax revenue for the state.

This law will actually REDUCE Utah tax dollars due to relationship terminations. Don't do it!!!

Please do not enact a law like this. Thousands of Utahns rely on affiliate income to support their famiies. Look at hwat has happened in other states who have enacted Nexus laws. EG Amazon just leaves affiliates out in the cold. Bottom line Utah will actually lose tax income.

Please don't pass laws that prevent bloggers from linking to Amazon products. That won't bring tax money to Utah; Amazon.com will just withdraw from our state as they have in so many other place and hundreds of bloggers will lose the income they are currently getting, so Utah will protentially LOSE tax revenue.

While I understand the goal to bring more tax money into the state, the failure rate of these laws in other states is concerning. They have had a negative impact more often than not.
Please do not enact this law. It will only hurt Utahns.

Working in the internet marketing business, the nexus law would absolutely ruin several of our customers, and it WILL NOT provide additional tax revenue to the state of Utah. I've seen it time and again that nexus laws strangle income AND tax revenue flows. No one wins when a nexus law is enacted.

In 2011 my business was shut down in California as a result of an affiliate nexus law. I have been through this before, we were told this bill was not about us, but it quickly became person upon arrival of termination letters. The odds of this bill actually changing the current federal legislation is slim to none. Affiliate marketers are not pawns to be used by Utah legislators.

Affiliate marketing single-handedly kept me from having to take out student loans during graduate school. Legislation like this is more likely to remove companies from helping Utah citizens provide for themselves rather than bringing in a revenue increase that would likely be used inefficiently by state government. Let's keep these laws out of Utah.

These tax laws take away jobs and economic growth as corporations will just not work with affiliates in the state anymore.

If Nexus is passed online retailers WILL cancel affiliate agreements and the state will not only NOT collect the sales tax, they will also lose additional income tax, sales tax and economic growth. Instead of Nexus we should be looking at reporting online sales to the individual states so they can make sure the residents report and pay with their state tax returns as they should.

Nexus laws do not produce tax revenue and only cause harm to Utah citizens. With Nexus, affiliates will have no income to pay taxes on, and retailers will cut ties instead of collecting the tax, so it will actually cause a decrease in tax revenue.
These laws are NOT the solution to the problem.
this is absolutely ludicrous!
HORRIBLE IDEA.
