Retailers, States Eye Online Sales Taxes

A diverse coalition including retailers, real estate firms and state governments this fall is set to renew its decade-long push to require collection of online sales tax on out-of-state purchases. Aides to Sen Michael Enzi (R-WY) and Rep. William Delahunt (D-MA) said they are working on revamped versions of measures they introduced in the 110th and previous Congresses, although there is no timeline for introduction. Sources said they expect the "Main Street Fairness Act" to be unveiled as early as September.
