Group Reveals New Name, New Website, Plans More Aggressive Strategy
Washington, D.C., Feb. 14, 2011 – The Coalition for Interstate Tax Fairness & Job Growth, a group representing the interests of small and large businesses nationwide, re-launched today with a new name, website and strategy to combat unfair state and local corporate income taxation.
Formerly the Coalition to Protect Interstate Commerce, the Coalition for Interstate Tax Fairness and Job Growth is urging Congress to enact the Business Activity Tax Simplification Act, which makes clear that a state can impose corporate income taxes and similar taxes only on companies that have a meaningful physical presence in that state. The measure would help thousands of small businesses and millions of consumers by encouraging business growth and job creation. The proposal, which does NOT affect sales taxes, would also finally clarify in law traditional legal principles.
