Isaacson, DMA Battle Sales Tax Collection Bill

Isaacson argued that if enacted, the bill would “seriously jeopardize the continued growth of e-commerce in the U.S.” Referencing the Streamlined Sales Tax Agreement (SSTA) included in the legislation, Isaacson called the bill “fundamentally flawed,” noting that it fails to reduce the 7,600 varying tax rates across the U.S.; reduce the burden of tax collection, remittance of tax and audits placed on interstate marketers; and fails to guarantee fundamental fairness with respect to vendor compensation for tax collection.
