For once, Congress did something that’s actually pretty good – they passed a law banning state and local Internet taxes.
The Daily Caller reports that the ban, which would require states to phase it out by 2020, is a part of the bipartisan Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act, which the Senate approved in a 75-20 vote. Only a few states have implemented the Internet tax: Hawaii, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Texas and Wisconsin. The tax raises about $563 million a year in revenue.
