NOTE TO VOTERS
Streamlined Sales Tax Project
Question No. 8 seeks to simplify the state and local tax
base by making it uniform as required by the Streamlined Sales Tax
Project. The Streamlined Sales Tax Project was created by state
governments throughout the United States, with input from local
governments and the private sector, to standardize and modernize sales
and use tax collection. The goal of streamlining the tax base is to
facilitate the collection of sales and use taxes for out-of-state sales
and sales over the internet and to ensure that the tax revenues that
support state and local governments are not reduced as a result of an
increase in such sales.
