Exactly the same thing happens in India too. There is now some attempt to rationalize but it is taking its time. To add insult to injury, there is the ever present state and Central (what you would call Federal)taxes and records to be maintained and offered for inspection to petty bureaucrats etc.

Long Island here.

I was in CJ although they might have closed me out a while ago for non-use.

Probably by percentage it’s tough, rummuser, but the thing is that in America every state gets to adjust its taxes differently, and then tries to impose its will on other states, and sometimes they get away with it, and it only hurts us, the people they’re supposed to be serving.

I’m in central New York, but if you’re not a part of either Commission Junction or Google’s Publisher network you might not have been affected. Are you in New York state?

I haven’t gotten any yet, do they send you emails?

What part of NY are you in?

Mitch, it is tough doing business anywhere in the world. If you are talking about taxes, you have got to do business in India, to really appreciate how easy it is to do business in the USA!

I’m with you, but it’s been happening enough to me that I guess they figure they’d just rather not deal with it. Believe it or not, Amazon’s considering doing the same thing, as far as not allowing any New York people to market their services. They’re the ones who are challenging the law.

it just seems like with such a large potential market — maybe 6 million or so bloggers, marketers and freelancers — they’d be willing to deal.

outside of california, where i’m sure they do a fair bit of business, i imagine they probably need eight or ten states to make up for the lost prospective business.

Nope, they’ve decided to totally drop out of NY state, or at least those of us who live in NY state and help market their products. They still have to collect taxes from people who live in NY and buy their stuff, so there must be an extra complication in there. Personally, I don’t like it.

so these affiliate programs can survive without the new york city market? or are they just dropping people outside of downstate zip codes?
