Senate extends internet tax ban
“The U.S. Senate on April 29 overwhelmingly passed legislation (S. 150) that would extend for four years the recently expired Internet tax moratorium. Alison Bennett, political reporter for the Bureau of National Affairs, called the action ‘a milestone vote.’ The vote for passage was 93-3, breaking a six-month deadlock that began when the original moratorium expired November 1, 2003. While Congress is now closer to reinstating the ban on a temporary basis or even permanently banning internet access taxes, the Senate bill must still be reconciled with a measure passed in September by the House of Representatives.” (06/04)
