Cornyn: Internet Tax Moratorium Extension Victory For Taxpayers and Consumers
U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, a member of the Senate Budget Committee, made the following statement Friday regarding passage of a bill to extend the moratorium on multiple and discriminatory taxes on Internet commerce for seven years:
"This is a victory for taxpayers and consumers. The Internet is an important economic engine, which also helps users learn and communicate. The tax moratorium has helped the Internet expand and has protected entrepreneurs from burdensome taxes. I hope Congress will act quickly to reach an agreement on the extension and continue to protect the Internet from multiple and discriminatory taxes."
