Illinois Governor Pat Quinn signed into law Thursday the Main Street
Fairness Act, requiring all online retailers doing business in Illinois to
collect sales tax for the state.
The new law ends a painful loophole in Illinois and forces companies to
treat a sale as a sale, no matter whether it’s done over a countertop or
with a keyboard and mouse. Illinois was losing hundreds of millions of
dollars in tax revenue because these out-of-state companies willfully evaded
their responsibility to collect Illinois sales taxes.
“The Illinois Retail Merchants Association proudly stands with Gov. Pat
Quinn today as he signs House Bill 3659 into law,” said IRMA President &
CEO David F. Vite. “This puts Illinois as a national leader in restoring
fairness – fairness for retailers, fairness for the economy but most
importantly, fairness for taxpayers.”
When online retailers did not collect sales tax, the tax was still owed and
the responsibility fell to the customer who are required under current law
to report and pay use tax to the state on these purchases.
“Thanks to the leadership of the legislature and the Governor’s action
today, we can all rest easier knowing the right policy prevailed and
everyone is now on an even playing field,” Vite said.
One day before the Governor signed the bill, the Alliance for Main Street
Fairness (AMSF) launched a web page in response to online-only retailers
threatening to terminate relationships with in-state affiliates to avoid
playing by the same rules as Main Street and collecting sales tax.
The AMSF is ready to help small businesses to connect with other retailers
interested in doing business with them and collect the sales tax at the
point of purchase. | p******g
