Section 79-3654 - Same; legislative findingsThe legislature finds that:
(a) State and local tax systems should treat transactions in a competitively neutral manner;(b) a simplified sales and use tax system that treats all transactions in a competitively neutral manner will strengthen and preserve the sales and use tax as vital state and local revenue sources and preserve state fiscal sovereignty;(c) remote sellers should not receive preferential tax treatment at the expense of local "main street" merchants, nor should such vendors be burdened with special, discriminatory or multiple taxes;(d) the state should simplify sales and use taxes to reduce the administrative burden of collection; and(e) while states have the sovereign right to set their own tax policies, states working together have the opportunity to develop a more simple, uniform, and fair system of state sales and use taxation without federal government mandates of interference.
