(AP) – Gov. Asa Hutchinson says he hopes a task force that
will recommend changes to Arkansas’ tax code will also look at a proposal that
failed in this year’s legislative session to require online retailers to collect
and remit state sales taxes.Hutchinson told the Arkansas Municipal League on Thursday that he wants the
issue to be considered by the legislative task force, which is expected to
deliver preliminary recommendations later this year and final ones next year on
overhauling the state’s tax code. A bill backed by Hutchinson to require online
retailers to collect and remit sales taxes failed in the state House earlier
this year.Supporters of the bill said it would create a fairer environment for retailers
in the state already collecting the tax.
