  • Out of personal curiosity, more than anything else, I decided to start writing down all the countries I could find with the number of Internet users. Slowly, the list started to grow and the help of an Excel dBase became necessary. More countries were added and updated figures started to come in.

Internet Sales Tax Fairness | The New Rules Project - 1 views

www.newrules.org/...internet-sales-tax-fairness

shared by Yvonne Garth on 11 Nov 09 - Cached
  • In a 1992 decision, Quill v. North Dakota, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that retailers are exempt from collecting sales taxes in states where they have no physical presence, such as a store, office, or warehouse.   (The legal term for this physical presence is "nexus.")    Although the case dealt with a catalog mail-order company, the ruling has subsequently been applied to all remote sellers, including online retailers. The Court said that requiring these companies to comply with the varied sales tax rules and regulations of 45 states and some 7,500 different local taxing jurisdictions would burden interstate commerce.

      Here's an article on the "U.S. Supreme Court ruling on online Internet sales in North Dakota."

  • It disadvantages local businesses.  Exempting online retailers from having to collect sales tax, as regular stores must, gives these companies a 4 to 9 percent price advantage over local stores — a sizable competitive advantage in retailing.

  • The unusual move comes as several U.S. cities elbow for a spot in Google's new "Fiber for Communities" program. The Web giant is going to install new Internet connections in unannounced locations, giving those communities Internet speeds 100 times faster than those elsewhere, with data transfer rates faster than 1 gigabit per second.
