ALBANY ? One day after a federal appeals court ruled that New York could collect taxes on tribe cigarette sales, a state judge has put a temporary stop to it, the Ithaca Journal reports.
A state Supreme Court judge issued a three-week restraining order on Tuesday, preventing New York from collecting the tax until the two sides meet again in court.
The stay follows the Seneca Nation of Indians? filing a complaint under the State Administrative Procedure Act after Governor Cuomo announced plans to begin collecting the $4.35 a pack tax on cigarettes sold to non-Indians on tribal land.
Arguments on the appeal are scheduled for June 1.
