Companion legislation that would extend the current three-year moratorium on new taxes on Internet commerce was introduced in the Senate by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and in the House by Rep. Christopher Cox (R-CA).
Wyden’s bill, The Internet Non-Discrimination Act (S-2028) and Cox’s, which at deadline had not numbered, would amend the 1998 Internet Tax Freedom Act by eliminating any reference to a three year tax moratorium.
Wyden, introducing the measure said consumers and businesses “need to know they won’t have to start paying new taxes targeted specifically at e-commerce when the current moratorium expires in October 2001.”
