“I would also like to note that the collection of sales taxes online will be new not only for many retailers, but also for consumers who are used to the current system. It is important to implement the new law correctly, from the outset, for these retailers and their customers. In this regard, I believe that it is also important to make sure that the implementation of the new law does not disrupt the busy holiday season. For this reason, I believe that States should be prohibited from exercising their new authority under the Marketplace Fairness Act during the last quarter of the first year after enactment.”
