Just recently, an entertainment company in New York that is in the business of distributing TV shows throughout the state and the country was involved in a tax case before the state’s highest court. This stemmed from the said company’s charging of sales tax from its customers who lease their satellite dish, which is needed to receive signals for TV shows, for a monthly fee. After four years of operating the business, state auditors found out that the company have committed violations of the state’s tax laws. State auditors argued that the company’s parent company should have paid sales tax for acquiring the satellite dishes, but it did not and instead passed the sales tax payment to its customers. The case is still pending with the state’s Court of Appeals.
