Pete Sepp, the Executive Vice President of the National Taxpayers Union (NTU), released the following statement opposing the Internet Sales Tax bills introduced on July 29th by Senator Durbin (D-IL) and Congressman Conyers (D-MI).

"Giving governments even more sweeping powers to tax won’t restore any part of the private sector to health, especially the small businesses Americans are counting on to lead a resurgence in job and income growth."

Over the years, the NTU have strongly advocated for protecting small Internet-enabled businesses from new tax burdens, such as those found in the recently introduced Internet Sales Tax bills.
