The Internet Tax Freedom Act is pro-consumer legislation that was originally passed in 1998 to impose a temporary moratorium on certain taxes that could have a detrimental effect on the continued expansion of Internet use in the United States. It has been incrementally extended over the years. The goal of that legislation was to limit the taxation of consumer access to the Internet. It is due to expire in 2014. Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR) and John Thune (R-SD) have introduced (S. 1431) the Internet Tax Freedom Forever Act of 2013 (ITFFA) into the Senate. Representatives Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) and Anna Eshoo (D-CA) introduced a companion bill (H.R. 3086), the Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act of 2013, in the House of Representatives. This bipartisan legislation would protect you from having new taxes imposed on your Internet access and ensure Internet commerce will remain unhindered by discriminatory, duplicative taxes.

The legislation:

• Prevents state and local taxation of Internet access.

• Prevents state and localities from imposing multiple and discriminatory taxes on Internet commerce.

• Ensures only one state can tax each transaction.

• Prevents online sales from being taxed at a rate higher than in-person sales.
We Need Your Help

Encourage your Representative and Senators to keep Internet access tax-free. Tell them you want them to support a permanent extension of the Internet tax moratorium. This will protect you from having new taxes imposed on your Internet access and ensure Internet commerce will remain unhindered by discriminatory, duplicative taxes.
