Today, Senate Commerce Committee Chairman John Thune (R-SD), Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) and 38 other bipartisan cosponsors introduced the Internet Tax Freedom Forever Act (ITFFA). House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) and Representative Anna Eshoo (D-CA) introduced the companion bill (Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act (PITFA), H.R. 235) in the House of Representatives last month.
Internet access is increasingly essential, especially as wireless devices and services become even more integrated into our daily lives. Taxes on Internet access would serve as a barrier to broadband adoption and the vital benefits it offers. For the past 17 years, your Internet access has been tax free, which helped lead to the widespread adoption and benefits we enjoy today.
We applaud the Senate’s action, and encourage Congress to move quickly to make Internet access tax free forever.
