Dear [recipient name was inserted here],
This week the House will work on a bill (H.R.1956) that would bar states from taxing an out-of-state business unless that business has a physical presence in the state for more than 21 days. The bill expands the federal prohibition against state taxation of interstate commerce to: (1) include taxation of out-of-state transactions involving all forms of property, including intangible personal property and services (currently, only sales of tangible personal property are protected); and (2) prohibit state taxation of an out-of-state entity unless such entity has a physical presence in the taxing state. Sets forth criteria for determining that a person has a physical presence in a state.
As a frequent online shopper, buying goods from all over the country, I fully support this bill. I ask you to vote to pass this bill when it comes to you.
As your constituent, I would like to know your thoughts on this issue.
A proud member of National Write Your Congressman
Sincerely,
Steve Harris
