The Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (Association) applauds Senate introduction of the Sporting Goods Excise Tax Modernization Act (S.1649) which addresses a significant gap in the collection of taxes for the Wildlife Restoration and Sport Fish Restoration Trust Funds. Introduced by Sens. Tuberville (R-AL) and Crapo (R-ID), the bill would make online marketplace facilitators responsible for collecting excise taxes on archery and angling equipment sold directly to U.S. consumers from foreign vendors.
