		<description><![CDATA[&quot;The Empire State is being drained of an invaluable resource -- people,&quot; the report said.

What's worse is that the families fleeing New York are being replaced by lower-income newcomers, who consequently pay less in taxes.

Overall, the ex-New Yorkers earn about 13 percent more than those who moved into the state, the study found.

However, was listening to CEO of Overstock.com on Book TV this morning describing how they dropped all of their NY affiliates because of the new internet tax law. Left me feeling very discouraged. Wondering if I should still pursue. Will it be possible for someone just starting out to build a profitable MA business if they are a NY resident? Any opinions/ advice greatly appreciated...]]></description>

Supplier questions about having to charge taxes because it's within their state.

		<title>NikeShop.com Over Charging NYC peeps Tax</title>

		<description><![CDATA[It seems that NikeShop.com thinks the sales and use tax in NYC is 10.2..% instead of the actual 8.375% it currently is.

I was over charged 2 dollars in tax, and they basically said I probably will not get a refund because it's such a small amount.

My guess is their accounting team catches the overage and doesn't send it to NYS and instead gives it to their execs as bonuses. Just a theory.]]></description>

		<title>Impact of sales tax collection on Amazon's NY state sales</title>

		<description><![CDATA[I'm guessing this might not be public info, but it's very interesting to a lot of us to understand the impact of collecting sales tax on Amazon's sales volume. 

Question: After Amazon started collecting sales tax (in NY for example), how much (as a percentage) did the total sales drop? 

If there are any official/semi-official/third-party guesstimates that'd be useful too.

The reasons Amazon converts so well for a lot of affiliates are:

		<description><![CDATA[I'd like to find a list of all the publishers that moved out of NY due to the tax laws (and into another state that didn't have the Amazon Tax)?  

I'd like to use to lobby against California enacting the same tax (to make the case that they'll lose more tax revenue than they'll gain since companies will leave the state).

Any suggestions?

The loss of sales tax revenue is attributed to less spending. I doubt you can draw any conclusions or connection to the &quot;Amazon tax&quot; but just throwing the figures out since a few people have asked.]]></description>

		<title>Zazzle Steals from it's NYC Customers</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Not sure if this is the right place, but Zazzle is stealing form it's NYC Customers.

In NYC there is no tax on clothing.

However on a 45.45 purchase they slapped me with 5.64 in tax. 8.375% of 45.45 is 2 dollars less than 5.64. 

I had a 5 dollar coupon which brought the price down to 40.45 (the taxable amount).

However i had to pay an image conversion fee of 20 dollars (which isn't taxable because it isn't being shipped to NY it's being placed in an Image bin on their website).]]></description>

Went to oneNetworkDirect, and while completing the sign-up process, guess what state wasn't available in the drop down box?

You guessed it:  New York.

I'm going to drop them an e-mail, but is it possible that an entire network threw out NY affiliates, and we missed it?

Any New Yorkers here working with them?]]></description>
