Crutchfield Settles; Eyes Turn to South Dakota and Alabama for Challenge to Quill

As our previous post explains, the U.S. Supreme Court had extended the time to file petitions for certiorari in Crutchfield Corp. v. Joseph W. Testa, Tax Commissioner of Ohio (U.S. Supreme Court Docket No. 16A774), involving the Ohio Commercial Activity Tax (“CAT”).  However, prior to the deadline, the parties agreed to forego further litigation and entered into an undisclosed settlement agreement.  As such, the Ohio Supreme Court’s decision upholding the Ohio CAT stands. See Crutchfield Corp. v. Joseph W. Testa, Tax Commissioner of Ohio, 2016 WL 6775765 (2016).

Those hoping the U.S. Supreme Court would revisit Quill through Crutchfield may be disappointed by this settlement, but should look to South Dakota and Alabama as their respective test cases challenging Quill make their way through the courts. See South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., et al., S.D. Cir. Ct., 6th Jud. Dist., Dkt. No. 32CIV16-000092, 03/06/2017; Newegg Inc. Notice of Appeal, Alabama Tax Tribunal.
