5. REQUEST FOR ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION PERTAINING TO INTERNET
& MAIL ORDER SALES:
RESOLUTION IN REFERENCE TO
INTERNET AND MAIL ORDER SALES
WHEREAS, since the 1930s, counties in North Carolina have relied on the revenues
produced by the local -option sales and use tax to aid in the cost of providing public services; and
WHEREAS, the local -option sales and use tax revenue stream is rapidly being eroded by
the growth of Internet and mail order sales; and
WHEREAS, the practice of allowing out-of-state remotesellers to sell their goods and
services without taxation is unfair for "main street" merchants; and
WHEREAS, the National Association ofCounties estimates that states, counties and cities
will lose over $20 billion in annual sales tax revenues by year 2003 due to the inability to collect
sales and use taxes on Internet and mail order sales; and
WHEREAS, the North Carolina Tax Research Division has conservatively estimated that
$170 million will be lost in North Carolina state and local taxes during year 2000-01 due to Interne
and t
and mail order sales and has predicted this amount will probably increase to $24Q million by t me
WHEREAS, model legislation developing a "streamlined sales and use tax system for the
21" Century" has been written by the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL); and
WHEREAS, the referenced model legislation has been endorsed by the National Association
of Governments, the Council of State Governments, the National Association of Counties, the
National League of Cities, the United States Conference of Mayors, and the International
City/County Management Association.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Iredell County Board ofCommissioners
as follows:
First, that remote sellers should not be given preferential tax treatment at the expense of
local "main street" merchants.
Second, that Congress should not extend or expand the current sales tax moratorium that is
due to expire in September of 2001.
Third, that states and local governments should be given the opportunity to utilize a taxation
plan wherein remote sellers would be required to collect sales and use taxes that would eventually
be returned to the states, counties, and municipalities to be used for vital public services such as law
enforcement, fire, emergency medical services, education, social services, infrastructur
development, and healthcare. e
