Bill overview
This bill, the Federal Gift Shop Tax Act, would allow states to collect sales tax on purchases made at gift shops located on federal property or through online gift shops operated by the federal government. Currently, sales tax collection at these locations is handled at the federal level. The bill aims to give states more control over revenue generated from these sales. It defines ‘Federal property’ broadly to include many Smithsonian and other federal facilities.
