Is it starting?  Did a state find a loophole in tax laws to tax Internet sales?  In the PDF there is one example that I'm conserned about.  Mainly because any of my affiliates enters into an agreement with me, a native NYer who doesn't currently live there, to put my link on their website and sell my products.  Some of my affiliates live in NYS.  It kinda seems to me... in one of the examples in the pdf, if a sale comes through them that I have to pay sales tax to NYS.

Am I reading this correctly or reading too much into it?  I will of course send this to my new accountant once I find one locally.

How does NY have any jurisdiction?

They appear to be violating a Supreme Court ruling with this.

I'm not making any changes to appease a state I don't live or work in.

From what I see, they're justifying it the same way NJ justifies charging tax on any shipment that drives through their state, even if it's on the highway passing by to going somewhere else!

Looks like what they're saying is that if a human has anything to so with a sale, directly or not, that you owe tax.

I think my "home state" has gone mad.

NY apparently thinks it's exempt from Supreme Court rulings.

Let the Internet Tax Collection Begin  6/2/08
By SAUL HANSELL
Amazon.com and other online merchants began collecting sales tax on purchases by people in New York State on Sunday. Overstock.com, which is not collecting the tax, filed a lawsuit to challenge the policy.

Of course I checked.  However, not everything is as simple as that.
