Direct Marketers Come out Swinging Against Latest Internet Sales Tax Proposal

November 15, 2011

Last week, the Direct Marketing Association (DMA), released a statement expressing its disappointment in the introduction of yet another Internet sales tax bill that would unfairly disadvantage online retailers. “This bill, in the best of economic times, is bad policy as it interferes with the free-flow of commerce among the states, a principle upon which the United States was founded,” said DMA. “In these difficult economic circumstances, placing new, unfunded mandates on out-of-state companies to comply with complex and changing tax structures in many states around the country will hamper e-commerce, a fast growing segment in our economy”. The DMA is an association of companies and nonprofits with interests in multichannel direct marketing. Learn more about DMA and their position on Internet sales taxes.
