flag Comcast sues Washington over digital ad tax, claiming it violates federal law by favoring traditional media.

flag Comcast has sued Washington state to block a new law taxing advertising services, claiming it violates federal law by unfairly targeting digital ads while exempting traditional media like TV, radio, and billboards. flag The company argues the law discriminates against internet-based commerce in violation of the federal Internet Tax Freedom Act. flag The tax, part of Senate Bill 5814, is expected to raise $2.7 billion over four years but could lose $475 million if the lawsuit succeeds. flag The case, filed in September, challenges the state’s approach to taxing digital advertising differently than other media, potentially forcing major budget revisions.
