Mississippi Click-Thru Nexus Bill DOA

Indirect Tax, Sales Tax Nexus Posted by Rebekah Lu 0 Comment

The current legislative season has given birth to quite a few click-thru nexus bills in rapid-fire succession. One of them has died nearly as quickly as it was born however. Mississippi (see Mississippi Introduces Click Thru Nexus Bill ) HB 363 died in the Mississippi House of Representatives, Ways and Means Committee, on February 1, 2011. The bill, if it had been enacted, would have required a person who makes a remote sale to a Mississippi purchaser to collect Mississippi sales or use tax if the person solicits or transacts business in the state by employees, independent contractors, agents, or other representatives.

About Rebekah Lu

My name is Rebekah and I am an attorney specializing in Indirect Taxes at Thomson Reuters. I earned my JD from Lewis & Clark Northwestern School of Law in Portland, Oregon and have focused exclusively on indirect tax law including sales/use, VAT and telecom since graduation.


Currently I have the good fortune to work in the International Tax Research Department where my responsibilities include researching international tax laws and trends as well as managing our Indirect Tax Research Library. My position has provided me with a superb opportunity to see the world through the lens of its tax laws. Although tax is serious business, it can also be humorous at times and always interesting. I am excited to be able to share my knowledge and enthusiasm for transaction tax with the readers of this blog.
