That is surprising since in Massachusetts, most services are not taxable. Is Amazon saying that AP is not for paying for services? There is also no sales tax on rent, for example, neither is rent a cash advance.
I have 2 AP accounts (mine, my wife's) with MA addresses. I did not get this email on either account. I do not have an AWS account, just AP. So it would appear that this probably does not apply to AP accounts. Though perhaps it would be best for anyone in MA to go easy in April and see what happens before going full throttle again. Also, not sure what's to stop anyone from simply changing their address to a different state.
