UN Seeks Immunity From NYC Lawsuit.
New York, NY - First, it was parking tickets. Now, the dispute between New York City and United Nations diplomats centers on whether foreign countries should pay taxes on the high-rise apartments where they house their diplomatic workers.
The Supreme Court was to hear arguments Tuesday from lawyers representing India and Mongolia, which are fighting New York's effort to collect property taxes from nations that operate diplomatic offices and house their employees in the same buildings.
The two countries -- and the State Department -- want the court to declare that foreign missions have immunity from such a lawsuit. Under U.S. treaties, embassies and other diplomatic buildings are generally tax-exempt, but the city claims countries are refusing to pay taxes on property used for non-diplomatic purposes, such as staff residences.
New York City has singled out only a few countries with lawsuits. It has failed in attempts to collect taxes from other countries, including Hungary, Libya, Rwanda, Nigeria and Uganda. Turkey settled a lawsuit for $5 million, far less than the city initially sought.
