About the PMA

The US Supreme Court announced today that they have officially denied the petitions filed by Amazon and Overstock, to appeal New York’s affiliate nexus tax law.

We are terribly disappointed in this outcome. There are over 80,000 online affiliate marketers in the US who have had their incomes devastated by various states’ attempts to regulate interstate commerce. Aside from the different rulings from Illinois and New York, the laws don’t work. They don’t compel e-retailers to collect sales tax. The states who have passed these laws have actually lost income tax revenue from the small businesses forced to move out-of-state or down-size.

Today, November 26th, 2013, the Supreme Court announced some cases it would grant review, and the Court did not include the Amazon/Overstock petition in its list of considered cases.   There is a chance the petition is being held over for review or for a later conference. We will know more on Monday December 2nd, when the Court lists the cases that are officially denied. 

scotus sealWe have received word that the US Supreme Court will meet November 26th to decide if it will select the petitions filed by Amazon and Overstock, challenging New York’s affiliate nexus tax law.

If the Supreme Court chooses these cases, it will decide once-and-for-all the constitutionality of affiliate nexus tax laws. If the Supreme Court rules on the side of Amazon and Overstock, affiliate nexus tax laws become null-and-void. This is critically important to the future of the performance marketing industry.
