Sen. Moore fights for tax fairness, saving Mass jobs
Telling the Legislature's Revenue Committee that closing a loophole in collecting the sales tax on out of state purchases is about fairness and preserving jobs in Massachusetts, Sen. Richard T. Moore,
D-Uxbridge, testified in favor of legislation that would help the state collect taxes owed, but currently uncollectable, except through voluntary compliance by business. Retailers estimate that Massachusetts is losing over $300 million a year because of the loophole, and the amount keeps growing each year as more consumers purchase items on the Internet.
