Newegg Tax In New York Startin June 1st

Violator · 05-25-2008, 04:54 PM

NY Sucks. It doesn't matter how much tax they collect because they will always bumble the money away regardless.

I knew it was coming. As soon as that blind gov said Amazon had to collect tax, I knew Newegg was gonna get hit

Uh, doesn't this violate interstate commerce? Newegg has no major facilities or affiliates (that I am aware of) in NYS.

And there's a spot on the tax return for out of state internet purchases for the consumer to fill out. Isn't that double dipping?

It's going to be applicable with every retailer online eventually. It really sucks.

It's either/or here, so no double dipping. It's being done because people don't really pay their taxes for online purchases as you're apparently supposed to do. This way, they're making sure it's collected.

Yeah, it's newegg's fault for being forced to tax new yorkers

Well, looks like I will be shopping other places, sorry NewEgg, that do not charge tax... as even when store X has higher prices and no tax, that is where I save money, that is where I go

Newegg COULD drop NY based affiliates (like overstock) or join with Amazon against NYS via lawsuit, challenging the constitutionality of the law. Either is preferable to me (as a long time Newegg customer).

Will they start taxing other states, too, or is that just a NY exception?

why are you people bitching and moaning about getting taxed? over here in california we get taxed on everything at about 8.75%.

just NY for now. Other state's will follow suit if amazon loses their lawsuit.

You get taxed online for stores that aren't in CA? Like Amazon for instance?
