New England Public Radio – Internet Sales Tax Plan Delayed in Massachusetts
“I’m very surprised to hear the state plans another rule based on the same rationale as the one that failed this week,” said Steve Del Bianco of NetChoice, an e-commerce trade association, which filed one of the suits.. “If the state comes back again with a rule that blatantly violates Supreme Court precedent and the Internet Freedom Act, well, we’ll refile our lawsuit and I look forward to another winning day in court.”
Del Bianco said that 24 of the 25 largest internet retailers doing business in the state, including Amazon, already collect sales tax.
