While many states are planning to return for special legislative sessions later this year, below is a quick recap of eTax efforts around the country so far.
Amazon eTax: The tax was passed in Rhode Island last month, making it the second state behind New York to adopt the law. It was either rejected by the legislature or vetoed by the Governor this year inHawaii, California, Minnesota, Tennessee, and Connecticut.
Digital Goods Tax: eTaxes on downloads were passed in Wisconsin, Washington, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Vermont this year. These states join 6 others that have imposed the tax legislatively since 2007 and 7 others that have unilaterally imposed it through tax administrators with little or no legislative oversight.
Despite the 18 states that tax digital goods, digital goods proposals were rejected this year in Florida, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
