Michael Bowen, chair of Akerman’s State and Local Tax Practice, wrote an article for Law360 examining the reaction by New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu following the U.S. Supreme Court’s Wayfair tax ruling. Bowen noted, “The response from New Hampshire was swift and to the point. Gov. Sununu immediately tweeted that the court's ruling was ‘outrageous’ and that ‘if they think we are just going to take this without a fight, well then they have another thing coming.’”
Bowen explained, “New Hampshire, for its part, has been very aggressive in condemning the Wayfair decision. A continuous stream of New Hampshire politicians have made public statements through press releases, social media posts, and radio and television interviews denouncing the impact of the Wayfair ruling. The governor quickly set up a hotline for local businesses offering assistance in the event they receive a sales tax bill from a foreign taxing jurisdiction.”
