Measuring Cost of State Ad Taxes in Lost Sales and Jobs
First Published: June 05, 2007

Summary: State legislatures, from time to time, have contemplated and some have proposed the expansion of their state sales taxes to business payments for advertising. While states attempt to justify this as a way to raise additional revenues by “broadening the base” of their sales taxes, in reality it is a tax on information in the marketplace. Moreover, unlike virtually all sales taxes that are applied to the sale of a product or service at its end use, a tax on advertising is a tax on an interim process – not a final step – in the delivery of the item to the consumer. Thus, the cost of the advertising plus the tax on the advertising is compounded in the final price paid by the consumer.
