Welcome to NAEDA

U.S. Rep. Bill Delahunt (D-MA) and a group of state lawmakers and small business owners held a press conference July 29 to urge passage of the Main Street Fairness Act (H.R. 5660). The bill was introduced by Delahunt to help states retrieve billions of lost sales tax revenues that are currently owed but go uncollected due to complex, outdated sales tax rules across the United States. The bill would allow states that have signed onto the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement to require out-of-state retailers to collect sales and use taxes on purchases made by residents of their states, regardless of whether the retailer has a physical presence there. This legislation will have to address the thousands of different state and local tax jurisdictions that retailers would have to comply with.

NAEDA is watching this bill to see if it will move forward when Congress returns from its summer recess.
