Amazon.com Inc., the biggest online retailer, will begin collecting sales tax from New Jersey residents next year under an agreement with Governor Chris Christie’s administration, a state lawmaker said.
Christie, a first-term Republican, will announce the deal at a 3 p.m. press conference in Trenton, according to Senator Raymond Lesniak, a Democrat from Elizabeth who said he was notified of the accord by members of Christie’s staff. Kevin Roberts, a spokesman for the governor, declined to comment.
