The House Judiciary Committee has voted to extend the ban on taxing internet sales for four more years:

The House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday voted unanimously to approve an amendment to the Internet Tax Freedom Act. The amendment, offered by committee Chairman John Conyers Jr., a Michigan Democrat, would extend the ban on Internet access taxes until Nov. 1, 2011.

Similar legislation has stalled in the Senate.

The current ban on access and other taxes unique to the Internet expires this November. Congress first passed the Internet tax moratorium in 1998.

A group of lawmakers, many of them Republicans, have called for a permanent ban on Internet taxes. The ban is needed to preserve the growth of the Internet, they argue.

By the way, Presidential candidate Tax Hike Mike supports taxing internet sales.
