BNA Bloomberg – Indiana Caught in Web of Digital Sales Tax Lawsuits

“We are confident that the court would grant an injunction barring enforcement of the Indiana law, just as a South Dakota court did in March by invalidating a nearly identical law there,” Steve DelBianco, executive director of NetChoice, told Bloomberg BNA by email. NetChoice, along with the ACMA, has also sued South Dakota and Tennessee over their remote sales tax regimes. They withdrew litigation in Massachusetts after the state revoked a directive ordering digital retailers to begin collecting state sales tax.
