New York Court of Appeals
In the Matter of Orvis Company, Inc., Respondent-Appellant v. Tax Appeals Tribunal of the State of New York…
June 14, 199586 N.Y.2d 165
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals held that the physical‑presence requirement under Quill is not a "substantial" nexus test and that both Orvis Company and Vermont Information Processing have sufficient nexus to satisfy New York’s use‑tax collection duty; the Orvis judgment was modified and remanded, while the Vermont Information Processing judgment was reversed and dismissed.
