Yeah the law sucks. They make you pay state sales tax on your car if it wasn’t purchased here so most people here for a short time never register it. Guy I know was gonna be here for two years and went to dmv to register. He brought a piece of mail with him as proof of address. They needed two forms and refused to let him. So he said he wasn’t coming back so because of their dumb rules they missed out on his money. This state is full of idiots.

There is..... From the linked article:

The employees each claimed that complying with Louisiana law would have put them in a legal bind with the State of Illinois, where they are still legal residents and where their primary homes are still located.

The question is why LSU’s Chief Technology Officer refused to permanently move to Louisiana, and why the administration thought that was OK.
Because there are plenty of people that work in a city and state that isn’t their primary home.
Guy I know in an executive position lives in Atlanta but works in Kansas City, for example.

Or they’re smart people that ran the numbers and realized that they should resign to avoid a massive taxation situation in a high-tax state. In particular, in the technology sector where they’ll be able to find jobs easily.

Ok, but is he an employee of the state of Missouri (or Kansas)? This isn’t an issue if they are working in the private sector.

Or they work remotely from out of state most of the time and don’t want to purchase a home here.... they should not be state employees if they do not live here and certainly should not be making that sum of money to not come to work.

That wasn’t his question. But I don’t really care. The law is only in place for one reason and it’s for the state to get their cut back instead of hiring the right person for the job.
I want LSU to hire the best people. I don’t care if they live in Alaska as long as they’re effective leaders in their position.

Sadly they probably got more work done working from home than coming to an office at LSU everyday.

They took the money made from LSU and bought a better job at Harvard.

it throws their primary residence in IL in flux. In particular, schooling for kids, homestead exemption, other taxation for “out of state” residents.
And then they have to pay almost $17k to LA in those pesky state income taxes.

Illinois has state income tax.
They aren’t doing this to avoid paying state income taxes.

So Illinois has state income tax that they must pay. If they change their tags and license and residence to LA the la is going to want 6% based on their federal income.

State income taxes are paid first to the state where they are earned. If you reside in a different state you get a credit for the amount paid to the other state.

While I’m sure that there is more to this story, this happened to me about 10 years ago when moving back to Louisiana from New Mexico.
I had purchased a new car in ABQ about 2 months before the move. I paid about 3k in sales tax.
When I got to Baton Rouge and went to the DMV they informed me that Louisiana does not have a reciprocity agreement with New Mexico and that I would have to pay the sales tax on the vehicle again in order to register it.
I said no thanks and took my chances with my NM license and tags.

It’s probably within $1000 up or down of Illinois. I don’t think that is the reason for someone making over 100k in Louisiana. There seems to be more to the story.
