More and more people are purchasing things on the Internet for the convenience that it provides them. However, sales tax is not currently applied to purchases made on the Internet. Five years ago, Congress decided to impose a sales tax moratorium on Internet sales in order to allow the new medium to grow. The U.S. Senate is currently considering extending this moratorium for an additional five years. What does this mean to the residents of Mount Prospect? Over time, a sales tax moratorium on Internet sales could have a detrimental effect on local retailers and by association, state and local governments' budgets that rely on sales taxes collected from those local retailers. If local businesses suffered due to e- commerce, the Village's budget would feel the effects. Currently, nearly 10% of the Village's revenue comes from sales tax. A significant decline in those revenues would cause the Village to either; l) Cut services or; 2) Raise property taxes or other revenue sources to maintain the level of services that our residents have come to expect. It is anticipated that Internet retail sales will quadruple in the next five years. The Federal Government estimates that between $800 million to $3.5 billion dollars a year are lost by states and local communities because retail sales are not equitably taxed on the Internet.
