Goodlatte Urges Supreme Court to Uphold Online Sales Tax Precedent
Regulating interstate commerce is Congress’ job, and the Supreme Court should rule against South Dakota in a key online sales tax case (see 1804170062), House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., said Wednesday. Striking down the physical presence rule established by Quill v. North Dakota “would violate the principle of ‘No Regulation Without Representation’ with respect to the imposition of sales tax collection duties and create an unnecessary additional burden on the American economy,” Goodlatte said.
