Goodlatte Principles Create Common Ground for MFA Combatants

Goodlatte offers retailers an olive branch.
Goodlatte offers retailers an olive branch.
The House Judiciary committee today issued seven “Basic Principles on Remote Sales Tax” as it prepares to craft its answer to the Marketplace Fairness Act (MFA) that passed the Senate earlier this year. A Judiciary Committee aide told Direct Marketing News that one of the purposes of the list was “to encourage feedback from businesses, retailers, consumers and other interested groups.”
For now, at least, it appears to have done the trick, winning resounding approval from both brick-and-mortar retailers who applauded the passage of MFA and remote sellers who didn't.
“Americans across the country are affected by the issue of Internet sales tax whether they are consumers or business owners,” said Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) in a statement introducing the list. “I greatly look forward to hearing fresh approaches to this issue and continuing the discussion.”
Goodlatte's list had American Catalog Mailers' Association President Hamilton Davison sounding downright upbeat on the topic of MFA. “It's a good and thoughtful list that recognizes the plan passed by the Senate does not level the playing field for all retailers. [Goodlatte] is looking to gain some basic agreement.”
