Court Says City Can’t Collect Property Taxes From Diplomatic Missions
(NYT) — A federal appeals court dealt a setback on Tuesday to the Bloomberg administration’s seven-year effort to collect taxes on space in diplomatic missions that the city says is not used for diplomatic purposes.
A three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled in favor of India and Mongolia, which had challenged the city’s efforts to collect more than $50 million in taxes and interest. It was unclear if the decision would affect the city’s ability to collect taxes from other countries’ missions.
