States ease nexus thresholds

By Robert Dumas on Tue, Jun 20, 2023 @ 11:13 AM

The latest on a national sales tax

By Robert Dumas on Thu, Mar 30, 2023 @ 11:29 AM

Everything old is new again – and that goes for ideas of a U.S. national sales tax. H.R.25 of the 118th Congress, the GOP’s “Fair Tax Act of 2023,” is the latest attempt.

The embattled national sales tax bill, now in committee, was introduced early this year to replace the federal income tax. What’s in the Fair Tax bill? What’s at stake for the revenue of states that already have their own sales tax? And why should eCommerce companies pay attention?
