New York State
has sued Sprint Nextel for more than $300 million, accusing the company of tax
fraud for deliberately not collecting or paying millions of dollars of taxes
for its cell phone service. New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman filed
his complaint in the New York State Supreme Court and said the case is the
first tax enforcement action filed under the state's False Claims Act.
Schneiderman said Sprint's decision not to collect and pay taxes was part of
the company's nationwide effort to lure customers from rivals such as AT&T
and Verizon Wireless.
