State Files Lawsuit to Level the Sales-Tax Playing Field Between Hoosier-Based and Out-of-State Businesses

0

Today at Indiana Governor Eric J. Holcomb’s request,  Attorney General Curtis Hill filed a lawsuit on behalf of Indiana’s Department of Revenue asking a court to find House Enrolled Act 1129 (Ind. Code § 6-2.5-2-1) constitutional. The new law, which became effective July 1, 2017, seeks to level the playing field between Hoosier-based businesses and those outside our state that do business here through online sales. HEA 1129 requires these out-of-state businesses to collect and remit the same sales/use taxes as Hoosier-based businesses.

The Indiana General Assembly enacted HEA 1129, and Gov. Holcomb signed it into law, with full awareness that the United States Supreme Court ruled in 1992 that out-of-state retailers need not collect and remit sales/use taxes.

“In light of the rapid evolution and capabilities of software and technology, the incredible growth of online sales in recent years and other factors, it’s time for the Supreme Court to revisit and overturn this ruling,” Gov. Holcomb said. “Hoosier-based businesses need the ability to compete on a level playing field as soon as possible.”

The legislature included, and the state’s lawsuit relies upon, a provision in HEA 1129 that allows Indiana to put into motion a legal process to challenge the 1992 Supreme Court ruling.  HEA 1129 also calls for the court(s) to act “expeditiously.”

The full lawsuit is attached.

Legal Considerations for Startups Seminar 

Presented by the Martin IP Law Group, P.C.
When:  September 18, 2017  12:00 – 1:00 p.m.
Where: Innovation Pointe, Media Suite
318 Main Street, Evansville, IN  47708
Cost: Lunch & Learn – FREE

Presentation Insight:

Startups are the lifeblood of our economy – creating change, jobs, new products, dreams, and disruption.
The entrepreneurs behind these startups put their blood, sweat and tears into the venture to bring their ideas to life.  But, unfortunately, half of all startups fail in the first four years of existence.
One way to protect yourself from becoming such a statistic is to make sure you take the proper steps to comply with the law in setting up your business.  Another way is to timely file for protection of your valuable intellectual property (cover your assets).
This presentation is designed for entrepreneurs who are looking to start a company as well as those in the process of building one.  Come see exactly what you need to do to get your business up and running and protect your valuable intellectual property rights.
Feel free to bring your lunch!

YESTERYEAR: Hill’s Snappy Service BY Pat Sides

0

This small diner opened in 1941 at Main Street and Riverside Drive, not long before this photo was shot. It housed Hill’s Snappy Service restaurant, part of a popular Midwest chain that had begun to expand into Indiana cities in the 1930s. The building’s distinctive style and diminutive size contrasted starkly with the older, more traditional commercial structures surrounding it. Hill’s replaced a building that was damaged by the Great Flood of 1937, and the diner’s tiles and curves resembled the Art Deco style of the Greyhound Bus terminal at Third and Sycamore, which had opened two years earlier. Hill’s was already operating three other restaurants in Evansville when the location on Main Street opened.
