Assemblyman of California proposes tax on digital downloads

City NewsApril 9, 2008
California Representative Charles Calderon introduced Assembly Bill 1956 to the Board of Equalization on Feb. 13. This tentative bill may implement a sales tax on all digital property, including media, books and movies in California. “Sales tax is generally not charged on products purchased over the internet,” said Daniel Simmons, professor at UC Davis School of Law. “[The bill] is trying to eliminate the unfairness, but of course, consumers won’t like it because it finds a way to enforce sales tax on downloaded products.” Although this may make consumers upset, it will make online transactions fair, he added.
