Boston Herald – DOR scraps online tax plans
The lawsuit was filed by the American Catalog Mailers Association and NetChoice, which represents online retailers and had called the directive an “unconstitutional tax grab.” NetChoice executive director Steve DelBianco said the groups wouldn’t hesitate to refile their suit if the state continues to pursue the tax collections.
“I don’t see how any court will agree that electrons flowing into a computer or smartphone comes anywhere near a physical presence,” DelBianco said.
