The extent of a government’s power to tax extraterritorially has long been the issue of controversy, and this issue has arisen in three areas recently. First, in his concurrence last Term in Direct Marketing Ass’n v. Brohl, Justice Kennedy all but requested an internet sales tax. Second, in Hillenmeyer v. City of Cleveland, the Ohio Supreme Court recently addressed the so-called “Jock Tax” on professional athletes, but the fight for such taxes is not over. Finally, the Treasury Department recently unveiled rules aimed at preventing businesses from inverting their headquarters to lower-taxed countries. What is the future of these taxes?
