Amazon.com Sues To Stop N.Y. Tax
By JOSEPH GOLDSTEIN, Staff Reporter of the Sun | May 2, 2008
Amazon.com is fighting back with a lawsuit trying to strike down New York state’s new law forcing the online retailer to collect sales taxes on the state’s behalf.
The dispute, which is before a state court in Manhattan, is heading toward a constitutional showdown that will center on whether New York State is hindering interstate commerce by imposing on out-of-state companies, such as Amazon.com, the burden of serving as a tax collector for New York.
