E-Taxes States and Counties
Say "Ring 'Em Up"
The Advisory Commission on Electronic Commerce
-- a.k.a., the Internet tax commission -- is out of money and out of friends.
Pretty soon, it may be out a mandate. A
Taxing dilemma for the EU
Europe is not ready for a permanent moratorium
on Internet tariffs, although it doesn't mind extending a temporary ban. Or so
say government officials attending the Transatlantic Business Dialogue in Berlin.
Asian
Web Users Shop More at Overseas Sites
On-line shoppers in Asia are buying
more goods from overseas sites than before, although they still prefer to buy
from local Web sites by a factor of two to one. U.S.
House of Representatives overwhelmingly passes global tax bill
In a vote
of 423 to 1, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill late last week to
prevent the imposition of sales taxes on global Internet sales. U.S.
to fight e-commerce trade barriers
The U.S. government will vigorously
oppose the erection of barriers that would unduly restrict global electronic commerce,
the deputy U.S. trade representative said Monday. E-commerce
patent rights now a global issue
In a decision with global implications,
a federal jury in Alexandria, Virginia recently removed a major obstacle to the
development of secure electronic commerce. E-signature
bill passes Senate
The U.S. Senate passed the Millennium Digital Commerce
Act Friday, following in the footsteps of the House of Representatives, which
recently passed a similar measure to make electronic signatures legally binding.
Global
e-commerce picking up steam
Many American Internet users still perceive
life with borders. However, countries of all stripes are gearing up their own
electronic commerce operations, and it may soon be commonplace for Americans to
shop for products from Asia, Europe, Latin America, and perhaps even Russia. Web
wine the grape debate
Arcane direct shipping laws are creating havoc among
wineries that conduct business on-line, their customers, plus state and federal
governments.
