Brian Johnson of The Vogel Group, a lobbyist for ACMA, is not optimistic that Congress will act swiftly, in part because the matter falls under the purview of the House Judiciary Committee, which does not often deal with tax issues.
“Tax issues just aren’t prevalent enough for a lot of committee members to have staff that have a deep understanding of the issue,” Johnson says. “We spend a lot of time educating around this issue, the history of the Wayfair case, and the complexities businesses are still facing.”
