It may be two years away, but Internet sales tax is still an issue Description: The Internet sales tax issue just wont end. Rather than decide the future of taxes on the Net, Congress and President Bush have delayed making a decision for two years. As 2001 wound down, Bush signed into law a bill that put a 2-year moratorium on Internet access and other discriminatory taxes. That means that instead of deciding on the issue of whether retailers must collect sales tax from online purchases, Congress has put it off for two more years, leaving players on both sides continuing the fight. Although the legislation does not directly address the sales tax issue, many interpret the moratorium as applying to sales tax. The primary goal of the moratorium is to prevent states and localities from levying Internet-specific taxes.
