Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) released a press statement this week reiterating her opposition to the Internet sales tax legislation currently pending in Congress.  In her press statement, Senator Shaheen, who represents a non-sales tax state, explained that the Marketplace Fairness Act could have costly implications for small businesses in New Hampshire and other non-sales tax states.

“As people all across the country complete the annual task of filing their tax returns, Washington ought to be considering ways to cut red tape and bureaucratic obstacles,” Shaheen said. “Online sales tax legislation would impose new and unnecessary burdens on New Hampshire small businesses, at no benefit to Granite Staters or our economy, and I will continue fighting to make sure the online sales tax bill never becomes law.”
