Maybe they think they can collect on large items like TVs, computers, and other expensive electronica.
That was my first thought too. In order to go back to 2004 and every item you ordered on the internet would be daunting and a huge job. There would be no way that you could honestly complete this without either ensuring that you over estimate or you under estimate. Either way, you will not get it right.
Think any one saved their receipts? This is one law that ain’t gonna see a dime of money for the IL treasury.
Pitch forks, torches, tar and a decent supply of feathers would seem to be in order.
As if Illinois didn’t already have enough Criminals. LOL
Don’t forget rope!
Sick. And they try to sell it as “amnesty.”
Disgusting, greedy, despicable bastards.
This could easily serve as a perfect example of the idiocy of the political mentality. On the other hand, there are so many examples these days that one can pick and choose. Government hacks, self-important bureaucrats, and organizational control nuts, tax-and-spenders, closet communists, and what have you are spinning out of control, and no one in a position of authority seems to care or be willing to do anything about it. Under Obama, the United States has become something more reminiscent of the Soviet Union in the bad old days of the Cold War than of the free nation into which one was born.
UPS and FedEx know!
Simple, there were no sales prior to this year.
Then delete all of your online sales records... and claim it was a virus (Stuxnex, anyone?).
And thus, the state won’t have any records one way or the other. If they push it, you can ask for their records, for yours are now ‘lost’.
Care to guess whether they have your records? (I think not.)
This isn’t anything really new; one was supposed to pay a “use tax” to the state, but few did. If you did pay this tax, it would count.
Taxes are such wonderful things to commerce! /s
I am from Tennessee, but have not been in the USSA for the last seven years.
I never have, and would not even know how to pay sales tax that was not collected by the seller, online or offline.
How many states have consumers filling out sales tax returns?
In Tennessee, I filled out quarterly returns as a seller, and I was to report any items that I bought for personal use, but there were no sales tax returns for consumers.
Get one of those prepaid cards to use. The states are getting records from major banks, not prepaids.
Illinois has nobody to blame but themselves for the people they elect - or allow to assume office fraudulently.
a stout rope is easier to handle ....
Yes! You're going to see regular folks adopting tactics of leftist punks. They'll trash government offices, overturn and burn government cars, and create enough mayhem to put real fear into these greedy bureaucrats until government backs off. Enough is enough! The Revolt is coming.
There's a work fill desk job that can be terminated right now.
Since when does every gobmint dept need a "media spokesperson"...?
