This week's podcast guest is Joe Henchman, the Tax Foundation's Tax Counsel and Director of State Projects. Joe recently authored Tax Foundation Special Report No. 175, "Cities Pursue Discriminatory Taxation of Online Travel Services," which looks at efforts by local governments in many states to collect discriminatory taxes from online travel companies such as Orbitz, Expedia and Priceline. He explains that local government officials are merely trying to shift the tax burden to non-residents (and nonvoters), and that their actions ultimately harm interstate commerce.
