Washington D.C. - U.S. workers and enterprises are falling behind in the global innovation, productivity, and competitiveness race, and Congress should enact a series of policies to reverse the trends, Stephen Ezell argued last week in remarks to the House Democratic Caucus. On an expert panel convened by Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD), Ezell's specific recommendations included reauthorizing the Export-Import Bank, investing in manufacturing innovation and education, spurring technology transfer and commercialization, and unlocking the economic potential of the Internet of Things.

Why You Should Care About the Internet Tax Freedom Act

6/15/2015

0 Comments

 
Washington D.C. – According to Babette Boliek of AEI, “ If you like lower taxes, using the Internet, and increased investment in broadband infrastructure, you’ll like what the House of Representatives just passed on Wednesday: an act that would permanently ban taxes on Internet access services. The Internet Tax Freedom Act (ITFA) bars state and local governments from placing taxes on Internet access and from imposing discriminatory Internet-only taxes, such as taxes on email services. In other words, this act prevents the list of access taxes you see on the bottom of your telephone bill from also being part of your Internet service provider’s bill.”
