Senate extends Internet tax ban for two years (11/15/2001)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate Thursday voted to renew a ban on Internet taxes, ensuring that the country's 130 million Internet users will not face new taxes for another two years.

By a voice vote, the Senate renewed a ban on Internet taxes that expired last month when lawmakers could not agree whether to include a provision that would encourage states in their quest to tax online sales.
