The Sacramento Bee says that as of last week, all actions and claims between the State of California and Barnes & Noble have been resolved. BN noted in their last quarterly report that they had paid the state $9 million in a settlement of claims against the bookseller’s online unit for sales tax of $17 million (plus interest and penalties) that should have been collected prior to November 2005. The settlement has been approved, and a countersuit by BN against the state’s board of equalization was dismissed.SacBee
