Wyoming lawmakers to mull digital product taxes

Associated Press - November 21, 2009 1:45 PM ET

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - A Wyoming legislative committee has voted to sponsor a bill to generate taxes on such things as music, video and software sold through the Internet and other multi-state electronic systems.

The Wyoming Legislature's Joint Revenue Interim Committee voted Thursday to sponsor the bill to be taken up when the Legislature begins meeting this winter.

The bill attempts to define what is taxable in the fast-changing digital marketplace.

Dan Noble, excise tax administrator for the Wyoming Department of Revenue, says such a definition is complex due to how digital products are used.
