Statement from New York State Commissioner of Taxation and Finance Thomas H. Mattox on Decision from New York State’s Highest Court in Amazon/Overstock Case

“Today’s Court of Appeals Decision affirms New York State’s approach to ensure fair tax administration for both brick-and-mortar and Internet-based businesses. We commend the Court for recognizing the logical application of existing precedent to the 21st Century economy.

Since being implemented, this law has resulted in the collection of roughly $500 million in State and local sales tax. This is equivalent to approximately $6.0 billion of taxable retail sales into New York that were previously made without the sales tax being collected.”
