H.R. 3678
Internet Tax Freedom Act Amendments Act of 2007
As ordered reported by the House Committee on the Judiciary
on October 10, 2007
SUMMARY
H.R. 3678 would extend a moratorium on certain state and local taxation of online services
and electronic commerce until November 1, 2011. The bill also would amend part of an
exception to that prohibition for certain states. Under current law, the moratorium is set to
expire on November 1, 2007. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 3678 would have no impact
on the federal budget, but it would impose significant annual costs on some state and local
governments.
By extending and expanding the moratorium on certain types of state and local taxes,
H.R. 3678 would impose an intergovernmental mandate as defined in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act (UMRA). CBO estimates that the mandate would cause some state
and local governments to lose revenue beginning in November 2007; those losses would
exceed the threshold established in UMRA ($66 million in 2007, adjusted annually for
inflation) beginning in fiscal year 2008. While there is some uncertainty about the number
of states affected, CBO estimates that the direct costs to states and local governments would
probably total more than $80 million annually. The bill contains no new private-sector
mandates as defined in UMRA.
ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 3678 would have no impact on the federal budget.
