Responding to proposed legislation that would increase tax burdens for small online retailers, Steve DelBianco, executive director of NetChoice, made the following statement:

“Congress often says that small businesses are the backbone of the economic recovery, but these new collection costs will break the backs of many small online businesses. This legislation fails to define safe harbors for small businesses, virtually guaranteeing that small and medium retailers will receive little help in complying with thousands of state and local tax jurisdictions.”

NetChoice is dedicated to breaking down barriers that unfairly burden e-commerce. The organization is a strong champion of choice, convenience, and commerce on the web. Learn more about NetChoice and read the NetChoice blog post submitted in response to the proposed Internet sales tax legislation.
