The solution we are offering to banned Amazon affiliates is completely legal, does NOT involve any sort of tax evasion and is indeed acceptable to Amazon.

Amazon has banned affiliates in several states, most recently, California. Remember that the affiliates located in California were the business entities, whether DBAs, individuals or corporations but at any rate, ALL business entities acting as Amazon affiliates physically located IN California have been banned.

Since California residents are not domiciled in Kansas; that is, they live in California, the best way to do business in Kansas is through a Kansas corporation, which has a legal physical address in Kansas and a Registered Agent who is physically located in Kansas and who has a physical mailing address in Kansas and a post office box will not do.

There is nothing in the ban which precludes a California resident from owning or operating a business entity located in a DIFFERENT state in which Amazon has not banned affiliates. There is NO law which precludes a California resident from owning or operating a business in another state. Were there such a law, Californians would be prohibited from owning STOCK in out-of-state corporations, which they clearly are not.

The fact that an individual may own or work for an out-of-state entity in no way obligates that business entity for California sales tax. If such were the case, stockholders in GM who reside in California would be liable for sales tax for GM cars sold in Nevada, which they obviously are not.

Remember, it is quite legal for a California resident to own and operate a business located in another state.

The fundamental basis of this solution is that the CORPORATION is the affiliate and for legal purposes, the CORPORATION is a RESIDENT of a state in which Amazon has NOT banned affiliates!

So here is the solution in step-by-step form to the issues facing banned California-based Amazon affiliates:

(1) The banned Amazon affiliate purchases a Kansas corporation through our service at a specially discounted rate. The corporation is good for one year, a physical address is provided, Registered Agent service is provided for one year, a mailing address is provided if needed, Articles of Incorporation are provided, a very professionally done up set of Corporate Bylaws are provided and the entire setup is 100% legal and above board. This is the same service that places like Legal Zoom will charge well over $1000.00 for but we are offering a specially discounted price of $499.00 for EXACTLY the same service.

(2) The banned affiliate can then obtain an EIN (Employer Identification Number) for the new corporation using the registered address of the corporation or for a small additional charge, we will obtain that number for the affiliate.

(3) The banned affilate then registers the new KANSAS corporation with Amazon as the affiliate business entity as the KANSAS corporation is NOT located in California and has no business presence there. Merely having an employee in California does NOT automatically create a “business presence” in that state within the meaning of the term because the affiliate is working for the KANSAS corporation. The KANSAS corporation should in fact do NO business in the state of California to ensure that no business presence is established, including opening a corporate bank account in California. With Amazon, you do not need a corporate bank account but you should use the corporate EIN when registering with Amazon as there would be no witholding from income to a corporation if the affiliate selects “Exempt From Withholding”.

(3) As far as getting paid by Amazon, Amazon does not care where it sends the money, as long as Amazon does not send the earned funds to one of the banned states, so the affiliate can simply open a personal or business online bank account, select “Wire Transfer”, which has a $100 minimum payout and a $15 fee and Amazon will ask only for the Name of the bank, the Routing and Account numbers. If the affiliate wants to be paid by check, a corporate bank account could be opened and I would recommend Bank of America for those as they would not give the affiliate too much trouble as long as the proper documentation is presented. Another way around this is to use the individual’s name as the name of the corporation so that there would be even less trouble depositing into a personal account. Up to the affiliate; makes no difference to us as long but remember, the bank account must not be located in any of the banned states, although the bank could have branches in the banned state..

(4) Neither we nor the Registered Agent have any interest in the corporation and the Registered Agent only receives mail for the corporation, most of which is junk mail anyway but will forward any official mail to the actual owner of the corporation at no additional charge.

(5) The Amazon Affiliate then earns and prospers in a legal, ethical and moral manner. All is happiness and justice prevails.`

This method is NOT “tax evasion” as a corporation located outside of California would owe NO California tax of any kind anyway without a physical presence in that state and the Kansas corporation will have none. All quite legal and above board.

As a reminder, no Social Security Number, no business license and no additional fees are required in Kansas for us to set up a corporation for banned Amazon affiliates.

We have also made arrangements with a KANSAS bank to provide you with ONLINE setup and ONLINE banking so that your funds are deposited to that KANSAS bank account and you can then withdraw using the ATM card provided by the bank, write checks, send wire transfers or any other method of withdrawal that you choose!

The bank account will be yours and yours alone, in the name of YOUR corporation!
