Senate Debate Due on Hotly Contested Internet Tax Bill

This bill banning permanently taxes on Internet access will eventually pass. The bigger question is whether the states will be successful in persuading Congress to take action to overturn the Supreme Court's Quill decision and to enact a tax simplification measure that would require online, catalog and mail order merchants to collect and remit state taxes on all sales in all jurisdictions. This may eventually happen, but tax simplification is a tall order for the states. Significant progress has been made, but it will require actions by many state legislators and require a long time.
