The U.S. Senate delayed until May 6 a final vote on a bill that would let states collect taxes on Internet and catalog sales.

Under the measure, states could reach outside their borders and impose sales taxes on retailers with at least $1 million in remote sales. States lose an estimated $23 billion a year in uncollected sales taxes.
