Tell Congress It's Time for E-Fairness

For more than two decades, local merchants have been asking for sales tax parity with their online competition while states have been grappling with the erosion of their sales tax base. In lieu of Congressional action, the U.S. Supreme Court responded and issued the landmark ruling in South Dakota v. Wayfair that provides a pathway to a level playing field for American businesses and restored control of state budget authority to the states.

As states use their restored budget authority to implement responsible remote sales tax collection policies, there may be a need for Congress to consider legislation that provides uniformity and simplicity in sales tax collection at some point in the future. Congress should be very deliberative about finding the appropriate level of intervention, making sure that it preserves the parity provided by the Supreme Court ruling.

Our local businesses deserve a fair chance to compete in today's retail environment.
