Federation of Tax Administrators Supports State Efforts to Promote Transparency, Certainty, and Clarity of State Tax Policies Involving Taxation of Digital Products

The Federation of Tax Administrators (FTA) supports efforts to promote transparency, certainty, and clarity of state tax policies, including those of the Multistate Tax Commission (MTC).
The FTA encourages those interested in tax policy projects to participate and provide input.
The taxation of digital products is being studied by the Uniformity Committee of the MTC, which welcomes participation from the Streamlined Sales Tax Governing Board (SST) and representatives from Streamlined States.
The SST is developing uniform solutions related to digital products.
The OECD, United Nations, and Internal Revenue Service are also studying the taxation of digital products. Cooperation and collaboration between organizations, governments, taxpayers, and representatives are necessary for good tax policy.
The FTA concludes that state efforts promoting transparency, certainty, and clarity are best for tax matters.
