Overstock.com sues New York state over new online sales-tax law
From Bloomberg News via Mercury News:
Overstock.com, the online seller of excess inventory, sued New York state over a new law requiring more Web retailers to collect sales tax on shipments to residents in the state. The suit, filed Friday in state Supreme Court in Manhattan, challenges the constitutionality of a statute requiring Web companies with no physical presence in New York to collect taxes. Salt Lake City-based Overstock.com seeks a court order declaring the statute unconstitutional.
