President Clinton told US Governors meeting with him in Washington this week that sales taxes on the internet is primarily a State issue, and simplification is the key to progress. The Governors, however, emerged from the meeting just as divided as when they went in - and with a lot of hard work ahead of them to come up with a solution that will satisfy both sales-tax reliant states and sales tax free states riding the Internet economy boom.
The tax issue was
just one, if the most important, of the Internet-related topics
covered at the meeting, including on-line voting and the need
for on-line Government service. The National Governors' Association
issued a report alongside the meeting which said: "The digital
marketplace must be mirrored in a new digital government".
