In 2015, Amazon sold $272.3 million worth of retail goods statewide. That is the equivalent of 189 retail storefronts, 0.7 million square feet of commercial space, which might have paid $3.6 million in property taxes. A total of more than $3.6 million in revenue lost to state and local governments, an effective subsidy of $6.96 for every household in New Hampshire.
