Tech Industry Group Comments on Legislation Burdening Small Online Retailers

August 4, 2011

TechAmerica President and CEO Phil Bond recently announced the association’s position on Internet sales tax legislation introduced by Senator Durbin and Congressman Conyers. In his statement, Mr. Bond raised concerns about the impact of the legislation on small businesses and the economy:

"This is the time for legislation that keeps our economy growing, not legislation that will increase burdens and costs for our nation\'s online businesses, which are the backbone of our recovery. Unfortunately, this legislation is a step backwards that would only hinder our economic recovery. Simply put, this is the wrong bill at the wrong time."
