With Congress returning to Washington this week, the push will be on again for a bill that would force internet retailers to pay sales taxes in states where they don’t have a physical presence.
South Dakota Retailers Association Executive Director Shawn Lyons says the “Main Street Fairness Act” has been an uphill fight…..

Lyons says South Dakota has been a leader on the issue……

Lyons says he doesn’t think there is the political will to get a vote this year….

Lyons says South Dakota could see forty to sixty million dollars a year in additional sales taxes.
