Gwyneth Paltrow's 'Goop' Is One Of NY's Top Delinquent Taxpayers

NEW YORK CITY — Gwyneth Paltrow's "Goop" company got in a sticky tax situation with New York, state records show.

Goop owed nearly $300,000 in outstanding sales taxes in Manhattan, earning a spot on the state's top 250 delinquent business taxpayer list for September.

Since then, the so-called "modern lifestyle brand" has settled up, a Goop representative told Patch.

"We’ve looked into it, and can confirm the taxes have been paid in full," the representative wrote in an email.

The tax hullabaloo is the only kerfuffle Paltrow's arguably woo woo-friendly company has gotten into over the years.

Paltrow, as the company's website puts it, started Goop from her kitchen as a "homespun weekly newsletter" and has since expanded to a business worth $250 million.

"We operate from a place of curiosity and nonjudgment, and we start hard conversations, crack open taboos, and look for connection and resonance everywhere we can find it," the Goop site states.

This non-judgmental, taboo-breaking philosophy has spawned some curious products, such as a viral vagina candle and a jade "vaginal egg" that prompted a $145,000 fine for unfounded marketing promises. (Goop does sell products not related to vaginas, such as $27 "psychic vampire repellant," a $60 jar of something called "Moon Juice Sex Dust" and a $500 "Healing Crystal Necklace.")
