Last week the House of Representatives voted 352 to 75 to extend the current Internet tax moratorium until 2006. The Advisory Commission on Electronic Commerce called the action a validation of its efforts, which included a recommendation that the moratorium be extended. The legislation ensures that transactions, whether they take place via telephone, catalog or the Internet, are all treated in the same equitable manner. The House's action is a major victory for the American people who are logging on the Internet. The commission was too divided to issue a single recommendation when it concluded business last month.
