Mississippi is the latest state to jump on the Affiliate tax bandwagon. Senator Tommy A. Gollott of District 50 introduced Senate Bill SB2927, “Use tax; person soliciting remote sales through representatives in this state is subject to use tax.” It was referred to the finance committe on 1/18, requires a majority vote, and will go into effect on July 1, 2010.
Here’s the all-too-familiar text.
Notably, this bill has no minimums (most states state a minimum of $10,000 in sales).
Stay tuned for a reading from folks tied into the lobbyists and legislators on whether this one has legs or not.
In the meantime, if you’re from Mississippi, prepare to contact your representatives.
