Interstate Commerce Simplification: Less State Taxation for Businesses

This act aims to limit states' ability to tax businesses engaged in interstate commerce. It expands the definition of activities related to soliciting orders, meaning more businesses will be protected from taxation in states where they only solicit orders. For citizens, this could translate to lower costs for products and services, as businesses face fewer tax burdens, potentially leading to reduced prices.
Key points
Expands protection for businesses from state taxes if their activity is limited to soliciting orders in a given state.
The new definition of 'solicitation of orders' includes a broader range of business activities, potentially reducing tax burdens for many companies.
Could potentially lead to lower prices for goods and services for consumers due to reduced operating costs for businesses.
