Online Retail Tax Bill Introduced in Congress
The battle over Internet sales taxes is about to go national. A U.S. Senator has introduced a bill that would set a framework for requiring online sales taxes.
The "Main Street Fairness Act," introduced by Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) and supported by multiple Democratic co-sponsors, would "allow local Main Street retailers to compete more effectively against out-of-state internet sellers," according to a statement on Durbin's website.
Amazon, which has pulled operations from several states after they instituted online sales taxes, is actually in support of Durbin's bill.
“Amazon.com has long supported a simple, nationwide system of state and local sales tax collection, evenhandedly applied to all sellers, no matter their business model, location, or level of remote sales. To this end, I am writing to thank you for your bill that would allow states that sufficiently simplify their rules to require collection of sales tax by out-of-state sellers," Paul Misener, Amazon's Vice President for Global Public Policy, said in a statement.
Opponents of the bill, according to a PCMag report, include eBay, the Electronics Retailing Association, the Computer and Communications Industry Association, TechNet, and the National Taxpayers Union.
