Kansas seeks to tax online sales like brick stores
Kansas lawmakers push for a remote sales tax to mirror the 1992 Quill decision reversal. The bill, with bipartisan support, aims to tax online purchases, citing growing digital commerce and a need to fund schools after a state court ruling. Attorney General Schmidt joins 40 states seeking Supreme Court reversal, with oral arguments set for April 17 and a decision later this year.
