New York City Commercial Rent Tax (“CRT”) certainly has a habit of sneaking up on people. In fact, many professionals and non-professionals simply do not know it exists – that is until an audit notice comes their way.

The sourcing of wages has become a major concern for non-resident employees of New York businesses given the number of them now seeking to telecommute at least on a part-time basis. New York’s “convenience of the employer” rule (the “Rule”) is targeted directly at such situations, and can operate as a trap for the unwary in many cases.

As a state and local tax practitioner located in New York City, one of the questions I hear most often from potential clients is "What is Commercial Rent Tax?" Usually, that inquiry is immediately followed by the exclamation "I didn’t even know such a tax existed!" After I start explaining the nature of the Commercial Rent Tax ("the CRT") to them, they generally find it difficult to believe that New York City (the "City") imposes a tax on the very expensive rent already being paid by them. Guess what, it does!

Often, when I am meeting with clients, I will bring up the subject of "unclaimed property." Many respond by saying that they don’t have any. Still others really haven’t a clue about the subject, and don’t appear overly interested in discussing it. My experience has been that just about all companies have unclaimed property. In the world of unclaimed property, such companies are referred to as "holders."

Friedman LLP recently promoted five of the Firm's professionals to Principal and two to Director. The promoted personnel are members of the tax, audit and FLVS departments, and are based in the New York City, East Hanover, Marlton and Linwood offices. All assumed their titles on July 1, 2014.

A recent unanimous decision by the New York State Court of Appeals with respect to the application of the state’s statutory residency law demonstrates that it is still possible for a lone taxpayer to challenge the Department of Taxation and Finance (the “Department”) regarding one of its favorite audit darlings, and prevail.

Earlier this month, the 2014-2015 NYS budget passed with an extension of all Lower Manhattan incentive programs.

The purchase of an existing business is generally structured in one of two alternative ways: purchase the entity outright, or purchase only the assets of the business.

It’s not very often that state taxing officials present taxpayers with bona fide refund opportunities.

Normally, if a transaction is subject to sales tax, the tax is imposed upon the price charged the retail customer with respect to the sale of taxable tangible personal property or the provision of taxable services.
