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.

    "It's not known exactly how much in uncollected taxes is due to states from online sales, but a 2009 study from the University of Tennessee estimated that it could total $10.14 billion this year, assuming total e-commerce sales of $3.49 trillion. Only a fraction of this owed tax would result from consumer purchases, however, because most e-commerce sales are from one business to another."

    "A plan proposed by U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., called the "Main Street Fairness Act," would create a national law that forces online retailers to start collecting sales taxes on purchases made over the Internet. Amounts will be based on each state's already existing sales tax rates."

    "The Texas House approved a bill on Tuesday that would expand the number of Internet companies required to collect sales tax. The bill, which passed on a 122-23 vote, would change the definition of what it means to have a physical presence in Texas. State Rep. John Otto, R-Dayton, said it would force Internet-based companies like Amazon.com to collect sales taxes if they pay marketers in Texas to advertise for them."

      What about local municipalities? They are losing tax revenue as well.
  • They also cost the states billions of dollars a year in lost sales tax revenue — money that cash-starved states cannot afford to forgo.

Drugs Sold Online, No Prescriptions Needed on RxList - 0 views

  • The analysis showed that fewer web sites are selling and promoting controlled substances than last year (361 vs. 581); in the new report, 206 sites were found to advertise drugs and 159 offered drugs for sale. However, only two are "legitimate" pharmacy sites, meaning they have received certification by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy as a Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Site (VIPPS). To receive VIPPS accreditation, a pharmacy site must comply with the licensing and inspection requirements of their state and each state that they dispense prescriptions in.
  • Half of the sites that require prescriptions allowed faxed copies, creating a "significant opportunity for fraud." The drugs most frequently offered for sale were drugs such as Xanax and Valium, followed closely by opioid painkillers including hydrocodone (contained in drugs like Vicodin, Lortab), codeine, and oxycodone (contained in drugs such as OxyContin and Percocet). The number of sites offering stimulants for sale increased to levels not seen since 2004.
  • The report showed many sites do not require prescriptions: 85% of online pharmacy anchor sites did not require a prescription to buy controlled drugs. Of that group, 42% specifically said that no prescription was needed. 13% never mentioned a prescription. 45% offered an "online consultation." The study also shows that many sites get their drugs from overseas: Slightly less than a fourth of online pharmacy anchor sites said the drugs would ship from a U.S. pharmacy. 40% said they'd come from outside the U.S. 36% didn't say where the drug would be shipped from.

  • In April, the U.S. Senate passed a bill controlling Internet trafficking of controlled prescription drugs. The bill calls for federal certification of online pharmacies and prohibits the delivery, distribution, or dispensing of controlled substances online without a prescription issued by a practitioner who has conducted at least one in-person medical evaluation. The bill awaits House approval.

      proof that the artists in at least this country are still making similar revenue regardless of filesharing. The labels however are a different story.

      An interesting idea for record labels to make up for the lack of revenue from selling albums but if labels are taking a cut from this then should they also offer a cut rate to their album sales with the increase of profit from this sector?

    Good look at how file sharing is affecting the record labels more so then the artists and how those who share files actually purchase more content then those who don't.
