Ban on Internet Access Taxes

Ban on Internet Access Taxes

 

The House passed a bill extending the moratorium on Internet access taxes by seven years, putting the period on par with a recently passed Senate bill and sending the bill to President Bush for his signature.

 

The bill applies only to taxes on Internet access, not to purchases made over the Internet. Many States are pushing hard to enforce Sales and Use Tax laws against internet purchases. For example, New Jersey has attacked online purchasers of Cigarrettes from Indian Reservations with enormous tax bills.
