re: 10% streaming sales tax is here, thanks Jeff Landry

Will this affect my $10/month IPTV service...oh wait...nevermind

I'm trying to understand why Cox worded their email like they did.

The change in the law (R.S.47:301) through Act 10 of the 2024 3rd extraordinary session specifically excludes:

quote:

---

(c) "Digital product" shall not include any of the following:

(i) Any intangible such as a patent, stock, bond, goodwill, trademark, franchise, or copyright.

(ii) Telecommunications services and ancillary services as those terms are defined in Subparagraphs (27)(b) and (x) of this Section.

(iii) Internet access service charges.

(iv) The representation of a work product resulting from a professional service, as described in Subparagraph (16)(d) of this Section, in an electronic form, such as an electronic copy of an engineering report prepared by an engineer that primarily involves the application of human effort, and the human effort originated after the customer requested the service.

(v) A product having electrical, digital, magnetic, wireless, optical, electromagnetic, or similar capabilities where the purchaser holds a copyright or other intellectual property interest in the product, in whole or part, if the purchaser uses the product solely for commercial purposes, including advertising or other marketing activities.

(vi) Cable television services, direct-to-home satellite services, video programming services, or satellite digital audio radio services.

Yes, I would but now we have both. How long do you think that it will take the legislature to raise the 3% income tax.

I think the majority of this board would prefer consumption taxes to state income tax. Not sure you’re going to get a bunch of Landry hate that you’re hoping for.
Why would a group of people who do the bulk of consuming want a higher consumption tax? fricking idiots is why.

What makes you think they do the majority of the consumption?

Talked to my mom today and her take home pay went up a whole $14 but the sales tax of all the stuff she has to buy to survive will be way more than that.

She is pissed off and I’m pissed off as well.

You retarded mouth breathers voted for a tax INCREASE and are fricking over the lower middle class folks just trying to work and get by.

Anecdotal I know but my mom is just a median income earner like most of Louisiana.

ETA: Louisiana has such a regressive tax regime it is pathetic. The elites in Louisiana get richer and the poor stay poor. Good job voting against your best interests yet again due to your total ignorance.
