Wilson on House Passage of the Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act
Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) issued the following statement today after the House passed H.R. 235, the Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act to prevent discriminatory taxes on the Internet and on Internet access.
"The Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act is crucial to driving innovation and protecting the growth of our digital economy. We use the Internet for all aspects of day-to-day life, whether searching for jobs, furthering education, growing small businesses, or connecting with family and friends. It is time to make the ban on taxing Internet access permanent so millions of Americans can access and conduct business online without bearing an excessive tax burden. I was grateful to cosponsor and vote in favor of this important legislation," Wilson said.
