>WHITE HOUSE MULLS NEW INTERNET TAX PROPOSAL
>Ira Magaziner, President Clinton's senior Internet advisor, has proposed a
>new plan for tracking and taxing goods sold over the Internet that would use
>electronic "resident cards" and private-sector escrow agents around the
>world. Consumers would obtain digital cash at banks that would allow
>merchants to identify which country the buyer is in, but would reveal no
>other personal information. Consumption taxes would then be calculated,
>collected, and placed with an escrow agent who would then funnel the money
>to the appropriate government. "Governments would get their money more
>quickly... they would get a higher compliance rate... and the system would
>be easier to police," says Mr. Magaziner.
