Internet sales tax under consideration in Mississippi

Months after Mississippi’s top tax official proposed requiring large online sellers to collect taxes on internet sales, he still hasn’t enacted the rule.
A spokesperson for Revenue Commissioner Herb Frierson says that Frierson is still considering the proposal. Frierson has acknowledged the rule would directly challenge U.S. Supreme Court rulings forbidding states from requiring tax collections by companies without in-state locations.
He has said the move aims to spark court reconsideration of past rulings.
On February 1st, Amazon.com started collecting taxes voluntarily in Mississippi, an amount that could be worth $15 million to $30 million a year.
