The JumpStart Tax is a blow to Amazon, which fought the passage of a so-called 'head tax' in 2018 via a well-financed referendum campaign alongside other Seattle businesses.
. The JumpStart tax is more aggressive than the "Tax Amazon" legislation, which sought to apply a flat 0.7% payroll tax on big businesses.
Representatives from Amazon didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on the JumpStart legislation. Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda, who introduced the JumpStart legislation, said the tax's approval is a "big step towards creating a progressive tax system that works for all." The tax didn't garner support from Seattle's business community, however, with the Greater Seattle Chamber of Commerce saying in a statement that the tax "pins Seattle's economic future on local businesses remaining strong, at a time when the depth and breadth of the crisis is still unfolding.
The passage of the JumpStart tax could further accelerate Amazon's move to secure office space outside of Seattle.
