NY court approves UPS tax break on free supplies - Wall Street Journal
A midlevel New York court has reversed the state's Tax Appeals Tribunal and concluded United Parcel Service's free shipping supplies to customers qualify as promotional materials exempt from state sales and use tax.
UPS, seeking a $2.7 million tax refund, says the boxes, envelopes and labels used to ship items as part of its air freight operation carried labels and logos promoting that service.
