Title: RE: [tax] Draft Tax XML teleconference minutes
First, my biases. It is not news to anyone that the U.S. does not have a VAT/GST at the federal level. The states would likely have an interest. I would not support working on indirect taxes if that means delaying income taxes. I know a large number of countries are modernizing or just developing electronic income tax systems. Thus to delay standards development on the income tax side would be to miss a tremendous opportunity. If there is a desire to work income taxes right away, I would suggest consideration of two technical subcommittees, one for income taxes and one for indirect taxes. The question is, "do we have the bandwidth for this?"

Peter,
Thank you for the idea. I do not know if the indirect tax isn't a size to
big for this TC right now, but if we can agree on something like that, it
could be a great opportunity.
The Charter does not prevent us from exploring that direction.
Do others feel the same way?

To the group -- have you considered contacting the International Bureau
of Fiscal Documentation http://www.ibfd.nl/about_ibfd/frameset_about.htm
which is a non profit; with regards the establishment of a framework for
the work elements of the TC? It's not entirely clear to me what the
charter of the TC is - for example, it could be that the goal of the TC
is to develop a taxonomy for (1) International transfer pricing and (2)
indirect tax (collectively VAT, GST, Sales Tax)....taxation of the
Internet -- this would surely peek the interest of potential
participants and get the work commitment underway
Comments?
Peter
