Washington AP report notes a federal advisory commission near consensus on extending the current five year moratorium on new Internet taxes beyond October 2001 while remaining divided on allowing states to impose sales taxes on e commerce. The 19 member panel backs repealing the 3 percent telephone excise tax and banning Internet access taxes, with a possible nexus rule from a 1993 Supreme Court decision to guide remote sales taxation and a push toward simplifying state and local tax rates. The timing could influence the Gore Bush presidential race as lawmakers weigh the majority view amid negotiations with the high tech sector.
