New York State Tax Agency: Bitcoin Buyers Don’t Need to Pay Sales Tax

The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance has said that bitcoin purchases will not be subject to sales taxes.

According to a tax guidance memorandum from the agency’s Taxpayer Guidance Division dated 5th December (hat tip Marco Santori), digital currencies are a type of “intangible property” and, as such, are not subject to a sales tax when purchased.

I'm shocked they didn't try to come up with some ass-backwards way to do it. They seriously turned down an opportunity to tax someone?

Done with this forum. Goodbye all.
