Grover Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform (ATR), made the following statement about Internet sales tax legislation introduced last week in Congress:

“The legislation hands a small cartel of state tax administrators the ability to reach across state borders and export the burden of tax collection onto out-of-state businesses.”

ATR fights for policies at all levels of government to simplify and reduce taxpayer obligations. The organization opposes burdensome and costly tax policies, including legislation that would increase compliance costs and jeopardize the competitiveness of small online retailers.
