Abstract

By some accounts, the volume of Internet commerce is expected to reach $327 billion in the next five years. Due to the sudden explosion of e-commerce, debates are raging as to whether and how Internet commerce should be taxed. As the debate continues, five possible solutions are being discussed, none of which are perfect: 1. seller-based tax, 2. federal government as taxing authority, 3. buyer-based tax with seller as the collector, 4. buyer-based tax, and 5. no tax at all.
