Re: NY trying to tax online sales

Mike,

Just FYI, we've created a new product service called TaxTools that we sell as a Software as a Service offering at AccurateTax.com. This new service calculates sales tax rates based on zip+4 boundaries...much more accurate than the regular 5-digit zipcodes. You can checkout the website to see which version might work best for your clients.

Regards,

We have a client who sells online in NY and they must report tax for each township and they are almost all different by as little as a 1/4 of a percent. We decided to use the Net Blazon Zip Tax Module and it is working very well. It is not perfect but it is very close and saves a lot of time.

Yes the Quill precedent does require physical presence in order for you to be required to collect taxes on behalf of a state.

NY is trying to challenge what physical presence means in order to get around this and collect the tax.

Supreme Court has already ruled on this. They can't enforce it because Federal Law trumps State Law on this matter.

This is very interesting. Thanks for the post.

Claiming affiliates constitute "physical presence". Interesting to see where this all leads.
