The U.S. Senate voted 74 – 20 late today to move forward with a debate on
a bill that would broadly increase the collection of online sales tax by
Internet and catalog retailers. The bill could come to a final vote in the
Senate later this week.
Today's vote was almost identical to the Senate's vote last month on a
nonbinding resolution that supported the sales tax bill.
The vote followed the Obama Administration’s endorsement earlier in the day
of the legislation before the Senate, known as the Marketplace Fairness Act
, or Senate bill S. 743.
“The Administration strongly supports S. 743, which will level the playing
field for local small business retailers that are in competition every day
with large out-of-state online companies,” the White House said in a
statement.
The White House went on to say that the current system, under which many
online and catalog retailers don’t collect sales tax, has created a
disparity that “undermines the ability of cities and states to invest in K-
12 education, police and fire protection, access to affordable health care,
and funding for roads and bridges.” At the same time, it adds, “Internet-
facilitated sales continue to grow as a share of total transactions,
contributing to ongoing state budget pressures.”
In addition, the Obama Administration contends that “collection
technologies have improved and states have made significant strides to cut
red tape and simplify their tax systems.”
Supporters of the Marketplace Fairness Act say it’s significant the Obama
Administration came out in support of the bill today, even if it’s too soon
to say how its support might affect arguments and actions by members of
Congress. “We find the administration’s first comment on the bill a very
positive step, but we’ll have to see the results” in any Congressional
action, says a spokesman for the National Retail Federation, an industry
group of retail chains that supports the bill.
But Steve DelBianco, executive director of NetChoice, a group respresenting
eBay Inc., Overstock.com Inc.and other e-retailers opposed to the bill, says
he doubts that support by the White House will help to get the bill enacted
. “White House endorsement shouldn’t give senators much comfort, given the
backlash from the Administration’s last attempt to impose new burdens and
barriers on business,” he says, referring to the 2010 Affordable Care Act,
health care legislation popularly known as Obamacare.
The Marketplace Fairness Act is backed by Amazon.com Inc., which is
increasingly collecting sales tax as it builds distribution centers in more
states, as well as by retail chains, who contend that the bill will provide
a more level playing field by requiring web-only retailers to collect sales
tax. If enacted into law, the bill will overturn existing federal law that
says states can only mandate sales tax collection by retailers with an in-
state physical presence, or nexus in legal terms, such as stores and
distribution centers. Amazon, which has been expanding its number of
distribution centers to about 40 throughout the U.S., is No. 1 in
theInternet Retailer Top 500.
Overstock.com, eBay and other online retail companies that oppose the bill
contend that it would put an undue burden on web retailers to collect sales
tax in each of the roughly 9,500 taxing jurisdictions around the country,
each of which has its own rates and rules about which items are subject to
sales tax.
The bill exempts retailers that do less than $1 million in annual remote
sales, or sales to customers in states where the retailer has no physical
presence.
Although sponsors of the bill, including Senator Dick Durbin (D, IL) say
they believe the strong support in the Senate will let the bill come to a
final vote this week, a spokeswoman for Durbin notes that the bill's
opponents are trying to delay a vote. If the vote doesn't occur this week,
it will have to come up in May after next week's recess, she says. | b******r
