Praesul Presul
On Target.....Sometimes
Per the Advocate this morning some of the key points in this proposal:
"Among the key points:
• Many tax filers could be required to file reports estimating the amount of sales tax they failed to pay on purchases, such as Internet transactions. They would pay the actual amount or what Barfield called a “safe harbor” amount.
• Businesses may get a cap on the percentage of sales tax collections they are allowed to keep as compensation for collecting the revenue for the state.
• Sales tax holidays would disappear although international visitors still would get a break on their purchases.
• The Jindal administration expects to collect roughly $1 billion by taxing professional and business services, including tax preparation, scientific research, travel arrangement and waste management."
That's always my way around high sales tax - order on-line. Not sure how I feel about that one.
Plus I use all the sales tax holidays especially the firearms one in Sept. I seriously brag to out of state friends about that one as it's a great way to get powder and primers cheap - no tax, no shipping no hazmat.
