This week, a coalition of taxpayer advocacy groups sent a letter to all 535 Members of Congress asking them to oppose the latest Internet sales tax proposals.  In their letter the groups argue that the bill could cause serious damage to electronic and Interstate commerce by: 1) allowing some state tax enforcement agents to impose their tax laws on businesses located in other states; 2) disadvantage online retail by creating more onerous sales tax standards than brick and mortar retail; and 3) burden small business retailers that use the Internet to compete against big retailers.
