Tamagni v. Tax Appeals Tribunal
New York Court of Appeals (1998) | 91 N.Y.2d 530; 695 N.E.2d 1125; 673 N.Y.S.2d 44; 1998 N.Y. LEXIS 1071
TL;DR: A New Jersey couple, deemed "statutory residents" of New York, challenged NY's income tax on their worldwide intangible income. The court upheld the tax, finding the dormant Commerce Clause inapplicable to a tax based on residency status, not interstate activity.
Legal Significance: Affirms a state's broad power to define and tax its "statutory residents" on their worldwide income, holding that such a tax does not implicate the dormant Commerce Clause's protections against multiple taxation, even if the taxpayer is domiciled and taxed elsewhere.
