New York State Tax Law requires that a vendor must collect sales tax from the customer when collecting the selling price of any taxable item or service. These violations could result in additional sales tax being owed by the business or its customers. Advertisements that offer to pay all or part of a customer’s sales tax liability, or to refund all or part of the sales tax, or to extend or expand a limited sales tax exemption to other products or time periods, are examples of improper advertisements.
However this disclaimer does not compensate for the fact that the advertiser is illegally refunding sales tax to sell a product, as illustrated in the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance Publication 34 Sales Tax Advertising Issues.Īn increasing number of merchants across the state have been running advertising campaigns that are in violation of the New York State Sales and Use Tax Law. The ad states Pay No Sales Tax* on all American made furniture and select clearance items. There is an asterisk after the word Tax that refers you to the small print at the bottom of the page which reads *Discount equivalent to the cost of sales tax is applied at the time of purchase. Today I received two advertisements for this same tax-free sale from Ruby & Quiri, one on the front cover of Amsterdam Monthly Magazine, published by Sacandaga Advertusing LLC , and another printed on a separate insert flyer. Nothing angers me more than a local company flagrantly violating the Tax Law by advertising Pay No Sales Tax to promote their products as did Ruby & Quiri, at 307 North Comrie Ave., Johnstown, NY 12095, who describe themselves as being, Your Complete Home Furnishings Super Center. I justify this action by thinking it helps keep postal workers employed. I often respond to unwanted credit card offers by stuffing all the material back in the postpaid envelope and returning it to sender. This type of mail often advertises by targeting specific groups of people and if I get one more packet to join AARP…. “All the tractor-trailers will still come in off Townsend Avenue,” Ruby said.It seems lately that the US Postal Service exists only to deliver tons of junk mail. He said the project will have security lighting, and some small signage. Ruby said some of the project does lend itself to better fire protection. “It works out great for us,” Heberer said. Ruby said today that new jobs would be associated with the project, but he did not give an exact number.įire Chief Bruce Heberer said that due to the project, the north side of the Ruby & Quiri parking lot will allow better access for fire trucks.
“It’s going to be high rack warehousing.” “We’re expanding our distribution center,” Ruby said. The board on Tuesday reviewed the plan, which indicated the longtime furniture, appliance and floor covering business wants to build a 16,000-square-foot steel-frame building to warehouse some of its furniture. Kucel Contractor of Gloversville has been tapped to do the projectĪ site plan for the $700,000 Ruby & Quiri project has already been submitted to the city. Smith told the applicants that final action may be taken after the hearing. The board also set a public hearing on the project for 4 p.m. Smith also told company owner Rick Ruby and engineer Charles Ackerbauer that the project will have to be referred to the Fulton County Planning Board for review at its July meeting because of its proximity to a state highway. Smith noted a short environmental form was already submitted by the applicant. The board on Tuesday at City Hall declared itself lead agency for the required state Environmental Quality Review for the project. There will be a breezeway connector from the new building to Ruby & Quiri’s existing warehouse structure, the plan indicates. The building would be used for warehouse racking. The new building will be 120-foot by 140-foot by 30-foot tall. The new warehouse will be constructed to the south of Ruby & Quiri’s main building.
