Safe Affiliate Programs for New York Affiliates

by on May 22, 2008

Kevin Webster of the 72 Kilowatts blog started a post on ABestWeb, “Merchants who ALREADY collect New York Sales Tax.”

“In an effort to clearly identify who NY based affiliates can feel safe in working with during this rocky time, I’d like to open this thread to be posted in by merchants who ALREADY collect New York sales tax on purchases, OR those whose physical goods do not, for whatever reason, fall into a taxable category.”

I’d encourage any affiliate programs that already collect sales tax in New York to post here – it could be a good resource for New York affiliates on which affiliate programs are stable for them.

For more discussions on the New York affiliate tax, ABestWeb has an area dedicated to legal issues for New York affiliate marketers.

Also, there is a running list on ABW of merchants who have dropped New York affiliates.

Shaw thanks for the update. We sat in on the IAB public policy meeting. This law is really not very well planned or thought out at all (go figure state gov). it essentially treats affiliates in NY state like physical store fronts. We will have more info from the next IAB public policy meeting and will post updates on http://www.relevantlyspeaking.com
