Tax Law Sections 1101(b)(4)(i), 1105(a). By Joseph Lipari and Aaron S. Gaynor Many people are familiar with the "resale exception" under which, for example, a sale by a clothing manufacturer of shirts to a clothing store is exempt from sales tax because the sales of the shirts by the store are taxable, see N.Y. Tax Law Sections 1101(b)(4)(i), 1105(a). The sales tax contains corollary exemptions for property purchased to produce goods and services for sale to consumers. Thus, for example, the clothing manufacturer does not pay sales tax when it purchases sewing machines used to produce the shirts, see N.Y. Tax Law Section 1115(a)(12). https://www.law.com/newyorklawjournal/2018/06/08/verizon-case-takes-narrow-view-on-sales-tax-exemption/?slreturn=20180508134636 -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20180608174527.GA28356@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Fri, 8 Jun 2018 13:45:27 -0400 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: California Mayor Continues Pause on Small Cell Deployment California Mayor Continues Pause on Small Cell Deployment After Verizon "Ran Roughshod" Over Neighborhoods The pause continues from the city councils 'cause for concern' on how the rollout of the small cell wireless gear was managed. By Kevin Mccallum (TNS) - Santa Rosa is still unwilling to let Verizon Wireless install antennas and wireless equipment on city light poles, putting the carrier's plans to boost network coverage in the city on hold indefinitely. The city council on Tuesday reaffirmed the "pause" it placed on the project in March, saying the way the company had managed the rollout of "small cell" wireless gear on wooden utility poles in the city was a cause for concern. http://www.govtech.com/dc/California-Mayor-Continues-Pause-on-Small-Cell-Deployment-After-Verizon-Ran-Roughshod-Over-Neighborhoods.html -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Sat, 09 Jun 2018
