Internet Access Taxes

The Internet Tax Freedom Act (called the Internet Tax Freedom Forever Act of 2013 (S. 1431) in the Senate and the Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act of 2013 (H.R. 3086) in the House) is pro-consumer legislation that was originally passed in 1998 to impose a temporary moratorium on certain taxes that could have a detrimental effect on the continued expansion of Internet use in the United States. This bipartisan legislation would protect you from new Internet access taxes and ensure Internet commerce will remain unhindered by discriminatory, duplicative taxes.

The legislation:

• Prevents Internet access taxes at the state and local levels.

• Prevents state and localities from imposing multiple and discriminatory taxes on Internet commerce.

• Ensures only one state can tax each transaction.

• Prevents online sales from being taxed at a rate higher than in-person sales.
