Idaho House Committee Votes Down Streamlined Sales Tax Project Participation
On 18 March 2010, the Idaho House Revenue and Taxation Committee voted 9-9 against sending representatives to participate in discussions for the Streamlined Sales Tax Project. After being presented with the many changes to the current state sales and use tax laws that would be required to belong to the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement, the committee voted in a tie, which kills any bill. The changes would have included levying an “Amazon” tax, reimbursing retailers who collect sales tax, and about 36 other changes to Idaho’s current sales tax laws.
