Bloomberg Law – High Court Has The Ball: State Digital Tax Cases Slowing Down

Bloomberg Law – High Court Has The Ball: State Digital Tax Cases Slowing Down

There’s been little movement in the Indiana case since a complaint was filed in June 2017 by Washington-based NetChoice and the American Catalog Mailers Association (ACMA), asking an Indiana trial court to strike down House Enrolled Act 1129.
