The Missouri Budget Project supports Senate Bill 248. By implementing the “Wayfair Fix,” allowing the state to capture sales tax for online retail purchases, lawmakers can level the playing field for Missouri’s bricks-and-mortar retailers and their online competitors and provide much-needed resources our local communities need to prosper. Utilizing a portion of the projected state revenue gained from Wayfair to provide a targeted tax reduction for Missourians working for low wages can create a critical stimulative effect as Missouri families continue to recover from the economic fallout of the COVID pandemic.
