NH Resident Thanks Senator Ayotte for Opposing Internet Sales Tax Bill

June 6, 2014

Rick Courtemanche, resident of New Hampshire, recently submitted a letter to the editor of Seacoast Online that thanked Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) for opposing the Marketplace Fairness Act.  Courtemanche wrote that “there is little fairness in the Marketplace Fairness Act, and its implementation would place an unfair burden on New Hampshire retail businesses.”  In addition, he explained that with over  9,000 taxing authorities in the United States, requiring a small business to purchase and maintain computer software and the corresponding staff to support it is not realistic.

Courtemanche thanked Senator Ayotte for her efforts to protect New Hampshire residents and businesses from this new sales tax regime and applauded her efforts to work on this issue in a bipartisan manner.  To read Courtemanche’s letter, please visit Seacoast Online.
