A Potential Game Changer In E-Commerce Taxation, David Gamage, Andrew J. Haile, Darien Shanske
A Potential Game Changer In E-Commerce Taxation, David Gamage, Andrew J. Haile, Darien Shanske
Articles by Maurer Faculty
In this essay, we evaluate recent legislative proposals for Congress to authorize state taxation of e-commerce. We argue that these proposals contain a potential game-changing innovation — the requirement that states provide remote sellers with “adequate software” for calculating use tax due within the state. Properly implemented, we explain how this innovation could force states to internalize the compliance costs of levying tax collection obligations on remote sellers, thereby incentivizing the states to simplify their sales and use tax statutes and resolving concerns about states overburdening interstate commerce.

In this essay, the second of a two-part series, we propose an approach for the U.S. states to tax interstate e-commerce. If the states adequately compensate remote e-commerce vendors for all tax compliance costs, we argue that the states can constitutionally impose use tax collection obligations on the remote vendors in a manner compatible with the Quill framework.

But before we can argue for our new approach, we must first survey the current constitutional and statutory landscape.
The Saga Of State "Amazon" Laws: Reflections On The Colorado Decision, David Gamage, Darien Shanske
The Saga Of State "Amazon" Laws: Reflections On The Colorado Decision, David Gamage, Darien Shanske
Articles by Maurer Faculty
We analyze the Colorado district court’s decision in Direct Marketing Association v. Huber – a decision that permanently enjoined Colorado’s "Amazon" law. Had it not been enjoined, the Colorado law would have mandated information reporting by remote e-commerce vendors so that Colorado could levy its sales and use tax on the e-commerce purchases made by Colorado residents. We evaluate the applicability of the Tax (Anti-)Injunction Act and whether the Colorado statute and regulations should be reviewed as a tax or as a regulation. We also suggest alternative approaches that state legislatures might use in order to levy taxes on remote …
