Title: Internet Sales Tax: Good or Bad?
Topic: Internet Sales Tax
Discussed by Andrew Moylan
with National Taxpayers Union (www.ntu.org)


Part 1 of 2

Up until the explosion of shopping in your pajamas and having it delivered to your doorstep, the adage in retail was: Location. Location. Location.

So the question is this: Should you shop with your neighborhood small business, or shop with the big-box store, saving maybe 10% on your total purchase?

Andrew Moylan is the Interstate Commerce Initiative Director with the National Taxpayers Union. Today he will be discussing whether or not a sales tax for online retailers is necessary.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Does location really matter for any business?

Does everyone like to save money?

Are big-box stores driving smaller, family-owned stores out of business?

Should far-away warehouses be given a price advantage over local retailers? Is that fair?

Title: Should States Consider the “Amazon” Sales Tax?
Topic: Internet Sales Tax
Discussed by Joseph Henchman
with Tax Foundation (www.TaxFoundation.org)

No Taxation without representation. In colonial times, inland states did not want port-states to add local taxes to goods shipped inland. Fast forward to today. When you buy goods on line, should the seller add sales tax applicable to your area onto your purchase? Does the out-of-state seller have an advantage over your local brick-and-mortar retailer? Our guest, Joseph Henchman, explains how there are over 8,000 different taxing jurisdictions across America. Should on-line sellers be required to keep track of all the rules and rates, collect the proper sales tax, and then remit the various amounts to the proper taxing entity?
