To: Jeffrey Epstein(jeevacation©gmail.comj From: McGraw, Thomas Sent Wed 1/30/2013 11:03:08 PM Subject: RE: happy new year Been at offsite & just looking at your e-mail I think not. NY tax law incorporates by reference federal tax law as starting point and then makes various modifications. In brief review I see no changes under NY sales & use tax statutes that would trump/modify otherwise applicable fed law including grantor statutes incorporated into NY tax law. Hence substitution of identical value in grantor should not create a "sale" transaction or event for sales tax to apply.
