Taxation

In a joint statement issued on September 26, U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson and Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez called on the Senate to make permanent the moratorium on Internet access taxes and on multiple or discriminatory taxes on electronic commerce. "Preventing the taxation of Internet access will help sustain an environment for innovation, ensure that consumers continue to have affordable access to the Internet, especially high-speed Internet, and strengthen the foundations of electronic commerce as a vital and growing part of our economy," they said.
