Sales and Use Tax Fairness Act

The Sales and Use Tax Fairness Act aims to create a more consistent and equitable system for collecting sales and use taxes across state lines, especially for online and remote sales. Currently, different states have varying rules, which can make compliance complicated for businesses and lead to potential tax avoidance. The act seeks to establish clear standards and streamline taxation processes, ensuring that both consumers and sellers are treated fairly, and that sales tax collection is fair, efficient, and uniform nationwide. This helps fund public services while reducing confusion and compliance burdens for businesses.
