Cafepress Late to Drop NY Affiliates
In a confounding move, Cafepress terminated NY affiliates effective July 1st, 2008.
I say confounding, because I find it unlikely that CP would not have met the nexus criteria previously, and therefore didn’t really save themselves by this move. However, it’s possible that they didn’t meet it in the last 4 tax quarters, in which case, well, it’s just another bad break for NY affiliates.
The email didn’t specifically state their interpretation of the law, just indicating that
“Due to mounting uncertainly over these new laws we will no longer be able to support affiliates residing in the State of New York, effective July 1, 2008.”
I’d like to know what the “mounting uncertainty” is.
