H.R. 3086
Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act
As ordered reported by the House Committee on the Judiciary on June 18, 2014
SUMMARY
H.R. 3086 would make permanent a moratorium on state and local taxes on Internet access
and some taxes on electronic commerce. Under current law, the moratorium is set to expire
on November 1, 2014. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 3086 would have no impact on
the federal budget, but beginning in 2014, it would impose significant annual costs on
some state and local governments. The bill would not affect federal direct spending or
revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
By permanently prohibiting state and local government from collecting certain types of
taxes, H.R. 3086 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 2014; those losses would
exceed the threshold established in UMRA for intergovernmental mandates ($76 million in
2014, adjusted annually for inflation) beginning in 2015. CBO estimates that the direct
costs to states and local governments would probably total more than several hundred
million dollars annually. The bill contains no private-sector mandates as defined in
UMRA.
ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 3086 would have no impact on the federal budget.

PAY-AS-YOU-GO CONSIDERATIONS: None.
