President of Americans for Tax Reform, Grover Norquist, testified before the House Committee on the Judiciary Subcommittee on Regulatory Reform, Commercial and Antitrust Law. Mr. Norquist expressed support for the Business Activity Tax Simplification Act, the Digital Goods and Services Tax Fairness Act, and the Mobile Workforce State Income tax Simplification Act.  While these bills were the topic of the hearing, the discussion quickly turned to online sales tax.  Mr. Norquist expressed that the marketplace Fairness Act or anything similar is still unacceptable.  Any legislation regarding sales tax must maintain the origin principle of physical nexus.
