I saw on the Small Business Blog earlier today that LinkShare sent a message inviting affiliates to a teleconference on the New York State sales tax change and affiliate marketing.

LinkShare reports that they have been actively working with, and providing support to, the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) to clarify this law.

LinkShare has joined up with the DMA for a conference call on this issue, featuring DMA Tax Counsel George Isaacson, this Thursday, May 22, 11AM to 12Noon Eastern.

He will provide an overview of the bill and the DMA’s interpretation of it. There will also be an opportunity for Q&A.

To join the call, email government@the-dma.org to receive personalized dial in information. Let them know you are a member of the LinkShare Network.

LinkShare has a PDF at http://www.linkshare.com/share/pdf/ny_isaacson_analysis.pdf with analysis of a memo from New York state on the issue.

Also, Linda Buquet has been posting updates on the latest developments on her 5 Star Affiliate Programs Blog.
