Illinois Considers Taxing Custom Software

Posted by timothy on from the starring-nobuko-miyamoto dept.

Foobar_Zen writes "Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is proposing to tax custom software; he is hoping to generate $64 million. You can read the story at burrwolff.com. I am wondering if there any other states that currently tax for custom software? How is this going to affect Illinois? What does this do to independent application and software developers?" And what about software that adds value but itself is available without charge?
