Simple fix. If someone worked on an app that ran in California and was used to buy a product in California; those developers that worked on the app owe a % of their work time and earning to California as income tax.
It is the commie thing to do. “Pay your fair share!” 🤣
You thought you were making a joke, but that is basically how the CA tax agency already works. The CA income tax agency has always been aggressive about taxing businesses outside of California that have any remote connection to CA. In 2021, they expanded their criteria even more to try to collect money from all non-California businesses.
The CA agency does not follow due process laws. They basically say "You are doing business here because we said so" and then they steal the money that is "owed" out of the bank account.
Wow!
My joke was based off a high school friends father. He would sign in at the Union hall in Seattle, then drive down to California and board a cargo ship. He would sign out back in Seattle. I think he had to drive right from the Union hall down. All done to avoid California taxes. Epically since all the work was done at sea.
Yup. Those are exactly the kinds of loopholes that were removed in 2021. California's income tax agency really believe they are entitled to tax everyone. And because they don't follow due process laws, they get away with it.
