Digital Goods and Services Tax Fairness Act of 2018
This bill prohibits a state or local jurisdiction from imposing: (1) multiple taxes on the sale of a covered electronic good or service, or (2) discriminatory taxes on the sale or use of a digital good or service.

The bill also:
- specifies services that are excluded from the definition of "digital service;"
- restricts taxation of a covered electronic good or service to taxation by a state or local jurisdiction whose territorial limits encompass a customer tax address, as defined by this bill;
- makes the seller of covered electronic goods or services responsible for obtaining and maintaining such address; and
