Maryland To Tax Custom Programming and Computer Services
mcwop writes "Early this morning Maryland passed legislation to apply a new 6% sales tax to 'custom computer programming' and other computer- and hardware-related services. Computer industry groups lobbied hard against the measure to no avail. Purchasers of IT services may find that in-house IT and buying out-of-state become attractive options, as well as cutting money out of other projects."
You could also just opt to not pay the tax.
Yes it's illegal, but I posit the following:
Who cares anymore?
The law in this country has become a complete and utter travesty where you're a felon pretty much no matter what you do.
Have someone write the code and pay them in cash.
Or will it take people until they begin taxing air to do this?
Gah, doesn't anyone have limits?
Attn: Maryland State Government: Pull your heads out of your collective asses. You're not entitled to shit.
Happiness does not come from having much, but from being attached to little.
Was it that transparent?
Now you know, we aren't trying to fix bugs or iron out gameplay, we are simply trying to avoid sales tax.
