Beeline.Com, Inc. Challenged NY Sales Tax on Software Licenses; Tribunal’s Assessment Upheld

  • Beeline.Com, Inc., a Florida company, challenged a New York sales tax assessment on fees charged for its vendor management system (VMS), arguing it did not sell prewritten computer software.
  • The Department of Taxation and Finance determined Beeline sold taxable software licenses, and this was upheld by an Administrative Law Judge and the Tax Appeals Tribunal.
  • The Appellate Division confirmed the Tribunal’s decision, finding the sale of VMS software licenses was the core element of Beeline’s business and subject to sales tax.
