International Business Machines Corporation & Combined Affiliates v. New York Tax Appeals Tribunal, et al.
Paid petition · Court of Appeals of New York, No. 35 · judgment April 23, 2024
Certiorari denied · January 21, 2025
Pre-decision estimate: 8% cert probability (95% interval 5%–11%)
Before the decision, about 1.8× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for counsel who has won certiorari before, a circuit split argued in the petition, and a business petitioner.
Question presented
May a state impose a “heads I win, tails you lose” regime that taxes either side of an interstate or foreign transaction, depending on which side has a nexus to the state, even though such a regime would inherently disadvantage interstate and foreign commerce if it were replicated by every jurisdiction?
