Internet taxes? Not so fast. A bill that would allow states to collect Internet sales taxes from online retailers and their customers may have sailed through the Senate, but it is expected to face much more resistance from tax-wary Republicans in the House.
Internet taxes? Not so fast. A bill that would let states collect Internet sales taxes from online retailers and their customers may have sailed through the Senate, but it is expected to face much more resistance from tax-wary Republicans in the House.
Online shoppers could end up paying sales tax more often by the end of the year.
"It's definitely going to be tougher than the Senate vote," said Claire Burghoff, communications director for Rep. Steve Womack, the Arkansas Republican who is sponsoring the bill's sister legislation in the House. "But we're really confident in its prospects that we can get this done once and for all."
"We're really encouraged by the momentum that the bill has gotten in this Congress," Ms. Burghoff said. "Mr. Womack is hopeful and positive."
