New York Court Says Telecommuters Must Pay NY Tax
hal9000(jr) writes "The Boston Globe is running this
story on an out-of-state programmer working for a New York company who had to pay state taxes. '"New York has the right to tax 100% of a nonresident employee's income derived from New York sources," according to
the 4-3 decision by Court of Appeals. The court relied on a fairness rule called the "convenience of the employer" under law that says a worker's income is taxable if he chooses to live outside the state, as opposed to if he or
she was transferred there.' The dissenting opinion: 'Judge Robert Smith argued that the basis of the majority's decision that all income is taxable is "that the commissioner says it is ... The majority cites no authority at all, and offers no persuasive reason, in support of this new interpretation."'"
GNAA Mourns Passing of Litigious Nigger
Famed nigger icon Johnnie Cochran passed away today following an extended and erotic bout with highly potent Gay Nigger AIDS. Reports from his surviving harem of young black males indicate that Cochran first received the holy seed last year at a secret ceremony in Japan.
"Cochran was a willing recipient of my AIDS-infested manly output," said GNAA president Timecop, pausing from his breakfast of collard greens and discarded shorts.
"I will always remember his shaft as being particularly wide and penetrating," admitted famed African JiZZy to an uninterested Popeyes phone operator, referring to a 2003 sweaty encounter with Johnnie in a Kansas City shower. In IRC, elite nubian malaclypse lauded the departed lawyer, stating "HE STOLE FROM THE JEWS AND GAVE TO THE POOR" and then ejaculating all over his monitor. "That's the third time this month," remarked resident sex-slave Grog, who eagerly lapped up the spilled seed.
Special services for Cochran will be held in the official channel of GNAA, #gnaa on irc.gnaa.us. Attendees are invited to bring bottles of EROS brand lubricant and Macintosh computers for the following festivities. Female creatures need not apply.
About Johnnie Cochran
Johnnie Cochran was born to a family of former slaves in 1937. Throughout his youth he came into contact with many of GNAA's agents, who successfully inculcated the values of trolling and homosexuality in his fertile mind.
Cochran's trolling career started in 1995 with his successful defeat of the odious female Marsha Clark in a Los Angeles courtroom. Though America subsequently had a nice day, Cochran continued to be an object of much masturbation and insertion among loyal gay niggers everywhere.

The New York State Court of Whoring Bastards will set that great precedent. Soon Apu the Pakistani Dominican answering phones in the Dutch Antilles for a Bermuda-based company will have to pay the New York State Work Prostitution Tax of 15% on his $0.22 a day income. Poor Apu the Pakastani Dominican, how shall he pay for his wife's sex change operation at this rate? Why have the gods so cursed Apu the Pakastani Dominican. Curse you, New York State Court of Whoring Bastards!
man it must suck to be an american!
That is what property and use taxes are for.
Why is it that this ruling by a New York court reminds me that New York has the highest rate of HIV infection?
Seastead this.
>>...to make offshoring less economically attractive ...
Why? Is everything you own made locally - your car, your microwave oven, your TV, your clothes? With everything foreign you buy, you outsource those jobs. Yet our standard of living is now higher than ever - for those foreign products reduce the price and increase the quality of all goods. Foreign car buyers were once pilloried. We now all benefit from foreign car manufacture.
Instead of trying to hobble competition, why don't you harness it? Why not invest in said outsourcing companies and share in the rewards of their successes? Look at the performance of software outsourcing companies in the markets.
Wanting companies/individuals taxed more heavily is tantamount to promoting protectionism. Actions such as NY's lower the standards of all productive people - especially those in NY. Productive people and profitible companies move elsewhere.
He doesn't use NY roads
how the heck does he get to work then? fly? also how bout cleaning pollution and environment stuff. by working in NY, he is automatically exposed to the services NY provides no matter voluntarily or involuntarily.
but i do agree he should be taxed on 100% of his income, but rather a smaller percentage.

Excellent point. They shouldn't be able to tax those who can't vote there. It makes no sense-doesn't this violate federal law?

Don't forget the addition 3% tax on 'junk' food and soda or the aditional use fees they want.
What happened to the GOP in this state?
I think there should be a radical restructuring of the entire U.S. tax code. There are several things I would put as highest priority:
- You cannot be taxed twice on the same income
- all services, goods, and fees which are mandated by any government entitiy are counted as taxes
- total taxes paid, including all income taxes, fees, sales taxes, etc., cannot exceed a certain percentage of your income. Anything in excess of, say 40% (though I think 20% would be more reasonable) of gross income gets refunded.
- a flat tax rate instead of the ridiculous graduated tax rates. (Where I can actually make more money and end up with less because my tax percentage jumps.)
- taxes are subject to jurisdictional delineations; if you are not using the services provided by a jurisdiction, you cannot be taxed by that jurisdiction (including the Federal government if you live outside the U.S. (except a small stipend to help support the Embassy/Consul in your country of residence)).
- The inheritance tax should be abolished altogether. It is simply unconscionable.
There's no such thing as an un-American remark if it's made by an American
BS. Ward Churchill is an American and makes un-American remarks all the time.
