WASHINGTON-The National Conference of State Legislatures today abruptly withdrew support for a Senate Internet tax bill.
NCSL said its executive committee, at the request of the group’s task force on state and local taxation of telecommunications and electronic commerce, voted to rescind NCSL’s support of the amended version of the Internet Tax Non-Discrimination Act.
The action by the executive panel and task force “reaffirms NCSL’s position that the organization neither supports nor opposes an extension of the moratorium on state and local taxes on Internet access. However, any extension by Congress must be competitively neutral.”
NCSL said the executive committee did not endorse any other amendments under consideration for the Senate Internet tax bill.
