On April 19, 2012, the New York Attorney General sued Sprint Nextel Corporation and three other related entities under the New York False Claims Act for a potentially more than $300 million over deliberately failing to pay sales taxes for seven years. The New York Attorney General took over the originally filed whistleblower lawsuit filed in March 2011. The lawsuit claims that Sprint Nextel Corporation has underpaid and under-collected sales and local millions of dollars in New York state and local sales taxes on its calling plans for more than seven years and concealed this practice from taxing authorities, its competitors, and its customers.
In a statement on April 19, 2012 Sprint Nextel denied the allegations and said they “collected and paid over to New York every penny of sales taxes on mobile wireless services that we believe our customers owe under New York state law.”
