Sprint Nextel asked a judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed against the company by the state of New York for more than $300 million in uncollected taxes and penalties.
Eric Schneiderman, the state's attorney general, has accused the mobile service provider of deliberately failing to collect and turn over to New York more than $100 million in taxes for its wireless phone services over seven years. The lawsuit, filed in April, seeks three times the alleged amount of underpayment, along with penalties. But in a motion to dismiss filed in New York State Supreme Court, Sprint said the state was attempting to levy taxes on services that are legally excluded from sales tax.
