    BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — "Louisiana’s #GOP-dominated legislature passed tax cuts on personal and corporate income on Friday in exchange for a statewide sales tax increase, giving Gov. Jeff Landry much of what he wanted after his original tax reform package faced mounting resistance from lawmakers and lobbyists.

    "The final passage of the tax measures wrapped up a special legislative session launched Nov. 6 by the governor and his allies. They said their purpose was to make the state’s tax code more business friendly, create jobs and reverse trends of outward migration from the state. It was the third special legislative session called by Landry, a Republican, since he assumed office in January.

    "Critics warned the tax reforms would primarily benefit corporate #shareholders and #wealthy taxpayers while the sales tax increase would exacerbate Louisiana’s regressive tax system where #poorer households pay a higher percentage of their income on taxes."

  9. So, in Washington State, if a food bank buys a server for their website, they pay sales tax on it. If an AI company buys a server for their data center, they don't pay sales tax. I guess data centers are more valuable than non-profits.

  12. "A mail-in retailer rebate issued by the retailer reduces the taxable sales price of the item when the rebate is processed and the refund is issued. In this case, the customer must pay tax on the item’s original price. When the store processes the rebate request, the store must give the customer the rebate and refund the tax collected on the rebate amount."

  19. I wonder what Florida will look like after a few hurricanes and no FEMA help? It's about to get really costly for hurricane prone areas. I hope they have healthy reserve funding to clean up the mess and save lives.

  22. Slight sales #taxhike around Crystal Lake Illinois was meant to help fund programs for #mentalhealth services but brought ‘greater crisis,’ a local board leader claims. While the town's sales tax is still 3% lower than some #Illinois towns, and raising #salestax ended an unpopular #propertytax levy, the apparently complicated math predictions stumped county officials who now see shortfalls in funding lower than predicted tax tallies sold to #voters.
