Overstock.com Sues NY Over Tax Collection Law
By Jane • Jun 2nd, 2008 • Category: Publishing News • •Overstock.com is joining Amazon in suing New York state for its recently implemented tax law which would require online retailers who make sales to NY state residents to collect NY state taxes. Amazon filed suit in late April. Personally, I think tax strategies like this hurt the state more than help it because it penalizes small businesses who are less likely to be able to comply with arcane tax collection for over 6,000+ tax districts.
Ultimately, it will be up to the courts and since this contains a federal question, it is one that the Supreme Court has jurisdiction over.

Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. Jane also does not like to talk about herself in the third person, but apparently this is the way that this biography thing works (although in a true biography, someone else would be writing this blurb). Anyway, currently Jane loves urban fantasy authors Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. She's really excited about this year's crop of historicals including Joanna Bourne's The Spymaster's Lady and Sherry Thomas' Private Arrangements and the upcoming Loretta Chase Her Scandalous Ways.
She's looking for a good contemporary author. Email her with a recommendation!
