Internet Tax Legislation: The Current Landscape
This recorded seminar covers the latest news on Internet tax initiatives that are underway in various states. As these tax laws make their way through various state legislatures, Advertisers are now taking a closer look at which states are driving their online revenue and weighing their options. Learn why these laws have not been generating revenue and in some cases indicators point to a decrease in tax revenue collected.
Our guest speaker Joe Henchman is a constitutional attorney and policy analyst who supervises the Tax Foundation's state policy and legal programs. His analysis of state tax trends and tax law developments has been featured in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, the Baltimore Sun, the Orange County Register, CNN, ABC News, C-SPAN, Fortune, Governing, Barron's, Kiplinger's, Stateline, State Tax Notes, and in court decisions and testimony at the federal and state levels.
