Congress recently introduced the Main Street Fairness Act, which would eliminate the unfair tax advantage Internet merchants and other remote sellers now enjoy over traditional retailers.
Getting this important legislation introduced was the first step, but the Senate (S. 1452) and House (H.R. 2701) bills need bipartisan support. Jewelers of America urges our members and other jewelry businesses to reach out to their Senate and House representatives at the local level. You can do this by attending a meeting or event where their representative will be looking to hear from constituents while on summer recess.
Encourage your Representatives to support this legislation:
