The chairman of the congressionally appointed commission to study and make recommendations on the topic, Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore (R), on November 9 publicly urged the commission to recommend against taxation of Internet transactions. Recognizing that his proposal would cost the states, he has suggested that the federal government give the states $1.7 billion to compensate for the lost revenue. He has also proposed that the 3% federal excise tax on local and long-distance telephone service be cut to 1% then, after three years, abolished. On November 10 Congressman John Kasich (R-OH) plans to introduce his own bill prohibiting states and localities from taxing Internet commerce. But the National Governors Association is recommending that state and local governments be allowed to tax Internet sales. Under the NGA plan Internet merchants wouldn't have to collect the taxes; the states would arrange for third-party firms to handle collections. ~Tiresias CapitolWatch Insider provides news from the inner workings of our nation's capital, including upcoming legislation, what's happening behind the scenes, and how the actions of Congress really affect you.
