Internet Use Tax Forgotten, But Not Gone

Catalog Success recently asked Isaacson about the use tax and what it may hold for U.S. catalogers.

Catalog Success: You don't think online catalogers are prepared for the Internet use tax. Why?

Isaacson: It dropped off people's radar screens after the last moratorium [was passed]. Another shift is that many catalogers expanded their retail efforts, and they do want to see a tax simplification. But as far as the traditional use tax argument has gone, most pure catalog and Internet merchants are not engaged in dialogue.
