description From 2012 to 2014, Amazon sent three emails to Tennessee purchasers with information about their potential use tax obligations and how to pay them. The messages did not threaten enforcement, but they included information that likely raised awareness and lowered the cost of compliance.

Business tax payments were not exceptional in the months following each email.
