E-commerce is a multibillion-dollar industry, expanding every day. However, state and local governments have struggled to tax online sales as efficiently as purchases from brick-and-mortar outlets, forfeiting huge sums in tax revenues.

at the Baker Institute, addresses the legal and regulatory issues
surrounding online sales tax, the challenges states have faced in
taxing online sales, and what that has meant for governments,
businesses and consumers.
