New York Governor David Patersonâs December tax proposal that would see the state nickel and diming downloadable content has been scrapped in favor of large amounts of federal stimulus money.
Patersonâs proposal, issued in December, included a section titled âClose Digital Property Taxation Loopholeâ, which would impose taxes on all digitally-delivered items, including iPod songs, digital movie rentals, and video game content. In a press conference in Albany yesterday, the governor announced that that particular provision had been removed, along with taxes on clothing over $100, haircuts, non-diet soda, movie tickets, and gasoline priced over $2.
