The Internet 800 Directory - http://www.inter800.com The Internet 800 Directory Newsletter This issue is for Friday, April 04, 2003 Table of Contents 01. Internet Tax Non-Discrimination Act 02. No s---, Sherlock! 03. Tip Of The Week *01 Internet Tax Non-Discrimination Act I know I have covered this subject in previous newsletters, but for those companies that transact business online this is a very important subject. In 1992, the U.S. Supreme Court reaffirmed a previous ruling that the nation’s 7,600 tax jurisdictions could not impose sales tax collection burdens on out-of-state sellers if the seller has no “nexus,” or physical presence, in the taxing jurisdiction. “Internet Tax Freedom Act”, bans the 7500-plus taxing jurisdictions in the United States from creating taxes unique to the Internet. This doesn't make the Internet a tax-free zone, it only requires states, cities, and other jurisdictions with tax authority to treat e-commerce the same way they treat other non-local sales, such as catalog and telephone sales. “The Internet Tax Freedom Act” simply applies the Supreme Court rulings to Internet sales. Extending the “The Internet Tax Freedom Act” indefinitely will protect consumers by making sure online sellers are to be treated equally with other businesses. This week, more than 100 members of Congress have signed on to make permanent a moratorium against levying taxes on the Internet that aren't levied elsewhere. The tax moratorium, in effect since 1998, will expire on November 1 2003. The bill to make this permanent has received letters of support from EBay, the Direct Marketing Association, the Software and Information Industry Association, the U.S. Internet Industry Association, and others.

Although this information comes from my Democrat wife, I contend that whatever party is in power will produce the same type of bureaucratic nonsense. Briefly, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has launched a website (http://Ready.gov) to help us with responding to terrorist attacks.
