Interstate Commerce Simplification Act of 2025
A bill to amend Public Law 86-272 to expand the prohibition of State taxation relating to certain solicitation of orders.
The Interstate Commerce Simplification Act of 2025 aims to make it harder for states to tax certain online sales activities, building on existing protections. Specifically, it seeks to expand the rules that limit states' ability to tax businesses that only solicit orders through digital means, such as websites and apps, and do not have a physical presence in the state.
This bill would primarily affect online businesses and consumers by potentially reducing the tax burden for out-of-state online retailers. For consumers, it might mean lower prices on some online purchases, while for businesses, it could mean simpler compliance with state tax laws.
As of October 22, 2025, the bill has just been introduced and referred to the Senate Committee on Finance for further review. No additional actions have been taken yet.
