In the News Survey says most Ohioans oppose a federal Internet sales tax
The D.C.-based think tank R Street says more than 56 percent of Ohioans polled are against out-of-state taxation on e-commerce.
Executive Director Andrew Moylan says the federal proposal known as the Marketplace Fairness Act would create an un-level playing field.
“If you’re a brick-and-mortar retailer, you get to use this simple easy standard of collecting based on where you’re located, whereas you would be forcing online businesses to have to jump through all of these hoops to figure out tax obligations across the country,” Moylan says.
