The Massachusetts Main Street Fairness Coalition is a grassroots organization made up of retailers, local elected officials, labor unions, trade and business associations, and individuals that want a sales tax system that treats all businesses the same.
We want to see action by state and federal officials to correct the disparity in state sales tax collection requirements between brick-and-mortar retail businesses and online sellers. All of us believe that without strong action by our leaders, local retailers will struggle to survive and the “Main Streets” of Massachusetts’ 351 cities and towns will suffer.
We need your help. If you believe in our mission, please join our cause by becoming a member of the MA Main Street Fairness Coalition.
