New York-New Jersey Tax Conflicts

New York and New Jersey: Legal Advice for Interstate Tax Conflicts

New Jersey and New York businesses understand very well how easily business ventures can cross state lines. Interstate commercial relationships can be advantageous for businesses in either state.

However, the New York and New Jersey tax authorities can sometimes be overzealous in collecting taxes on commercial activity. New Jersey or New York businesses may find themselves double-taxed or subject to unfair tax levies due to interstate tax conflicts. Individuals may also find themselves confronted with such conflicts between the two states.

Interstate tax conflicts and double taxation can result in confusing tax bills and a tangle of red tape that can take years to unravel, no matter whether the conflict arises from commercial taxes, personal income taxes or other forms of tax.

  • A business that needed advice on how to write a commercial transaction agreement that would prevent any interstate sales tax conflicts from arising
  • A New Jersey radio station that received an excise tax bill from New York because its radio signals happened to hit radio towers within New York
