Weekly Round-Up: Have the Clouds Lifted Concerning New York's Sourcing of Business Receipts From Web (Electronic) Transactions?


In a previous article, David Schmutter, Keith Eisenstein and Sam Cohen, all with Ernst & Young, suggested that legislation may be needed to clear up “cloudy” rules in the area of sourcing receipts from electronic transactions in New York. 

Legislation has since been passed.  In this week’s issue of the Bloomberg BNA Weekly State Tax Report, the authors discuss the newly adopted receipts-sourcing provisions and offer commentary as to whether those “clouds” have been lifted.

The article can be read in its entirety here.
