BNA Bloomberg – Bill Reintroduced in Congress to Ban Digital Sales Taxes
“States should not be allowed to regulate businesses beyond their borders, whether it is imposing sales tax obligations, labeling, or other regulatory restrictions and mandates on business that are not located within their borders,” Steve DelBianco, executive director of NetChoice, said in a statement. “Congress must step in to stop this madness.”
“We urge the full House to quickly take up this measure to provide small and mid-sized retailers protection from unlawful state policies that threaten to harm consumers, businesses and our national economy,” he added.

“Consumers and online retailers around the country are under assault by more than a dozen states seeking to adopt onerous and unworkable sales tax collection regimes, but Rep. Sensenbrenner’s commonsense bill would put a stop to the chaos,” DelBianco said. “Whether it’s invading consumer privacy through tattletale reporting laws or establishing dubious ‘economic nexus’ policies that flout established Supreme Court precedent, this state sales tax feeding frenzy must be stopped in order to preserve consumer choice and competition.”
