Ok, pay attention here. That title reads “Internet ACCESS Sales Tax Ban”, NOT “Internet Sales Sales Tax Ban”. Just want to make sure that’s understood before I go any further.
Here’s the scoop…according to a monthly newsletter I receive as a member of the American Institute of Professional Bookkeepers, effective November 1, 2007 you won’t have to worry about paying sales tax on your internet access for the next 7 years. Now doesn’t that make you a happy camper?
I’m sure those of you living in states that had such taxes on their books are definitely happy campers. If the ban hadn’t been extended, those sales taxes would’ve been effective immediately.
Rejoice! That’s one less tax we have to pay…for a few years anyway.

Well, that’s good news. But they’ll find a way to tax us yet.
BTW, there is a movement afoot in the government to give our internet service providers the ability to limit our use of the internet. They want to make access into channels - like cable or satellite tv!
This would allow them control over where we could and could not go on the internet depending on our provider! I wish I’d saved the URL for this but we all need to know and fight this latest attempt to control the internet!!!!!!
