sullim4 Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 http://wcbstv.com/technology/ny.internet.tax.2.707820.html In the midst of a budget crisis, New York is now telling Amazon and certain other large Internet-only vendors they must collect state and local sales tax -- if they allow sales via "click-throughs" from New York-based Web sites. The new rule is set to go into effect on June 1. So let's see... NYSers pay income tax, sales tax, gas taxes, use tax on interstate commerce purchases over the internet, property taxes, and now sales tax on previously exempt purchases. And in each of those categories, they come close to leading the nation. WA might have high taxes overall but at least we don't have an income tax. Saves me thousands each year. And NYS wonders why they keep losing congressional seats in reapportionment...
sullim4 Posted April 24, 2008 Author Posted April 24, 2008 Correct. He was going to do it before Christmas until the whole illegals and driver license issue blew up in his face. He abandoned the issue as an early Christmas gift.
eSJayDee Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 They usurp Sales Tax when you file your Income Tax Return anyway.
Live&DieBillsFootball Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 Or the more likely scenario, "NYSers will stop buying from Amazon effective June 1st". Lots of other places to buy the same stuff from.

And by overhaul, they probably mean "tax increase."
SD Jarhead Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 I'm sure this will make more people move back there.
