 OKLAHOMA TAX COMM'N v. JEFFERSON LINES, ___ U.S. ___ (1995)
Jefferson did not collect or remit the sales taxes for tickets it had sold in Oklahoma for bus travel from Oklahoma to other States, although it did collect and remit the taxes for all tickets it had sold in Oklahoma for travel that originated and terminated within that State.
Jefferson cited the Commerce Clause in objecting to the claims, and argued that the tax imposes an undue burden on interstate commerce by permitting Oklahoma to collect a percentage of the full purchase price of all tickets for interstate bus travel, even though some of that value derives from bus travel throu other States.
The tax also presents the danger of multiple taxation, Jefferson claimed, because any other State through which a bus travels while providing the services sold in Oklahoma will be able to impose taxes of their own upon Jefferson or its passengers for use of the roads.

 Oklahoma Tax Comm'n v. Jefferson Lines, 514 U.S. 175 (1995).
Jefferson cited the Commerce Clause in objecting to the claims, and argued that the tax imposes an undue burden on interstate commerce by permitting Oklahoma to collect a percentage of the full purchase price of all tickets for interstate bus travel, even though some of that value derives from bus travel through other States.
There is thus no reason to leave the line of longstanding precedent and lose the simplicity of our general rule sustaining sales taxes measured by full value, simply to carve out an exception for the subcategory of sales of interstate transportation services.
Jefferson takes the additional position, however, that Oklahoma discriminates against out of state travel by taxing a ticket "at the full 4% rate" regardless of whether the ticket relates to "a route entirely within Oklahoma" or to travel "only 10 percent within Oklahoma." Brief for Respondent 40.

 CLE - Taxation of Internet Transactions: Nexus for Services Sales
Jefferson Lines, 115 S. Ct. 1331 (1995), involved the collection of sales tax on the price of a bus ticket purchased in Oklahoma for service from Oklahoma to California.
In Jefferson Lines, the Court referred to its nexus dicta in Goldberg and relied on it in holding that Oklahoma's sales tax on the bus ticket purchased there was constitutional.
Arguably, the Goldberg-Jefferson Lines approach supports a state's argument that sufficient nexus exists to impose sales taxes on purchases of information services if the service either originates or terminates in the state and the service is either charged or paid for within the state.
