As fiscal constraints intensify, states are increasingly turning to new tax bases, including digital advertising.
George Salis, Chief Economist and Senior Tax Policy Director at Vertex, Inc., suggests this trend is likely to expand, especially as legal uncertainties linger. The exploration of digital advertising taxes comes as states seek alternative revenue streams to address growing budget shortfalls.
Vertex, Inc. previously cautioned that declining U.S. state reserves and reduced federal funding may lead to significant indirect tax policy changes, according to a recent report. The company also observed that chief financial officers are increasingly focused on tax transformation as regulatory complexity grows, outlined in another company update. These developments provide context for the ongoing state interest in expanding digital tax bases.
