Do not do business with any one, any company, any entity residing in California.
Just driving more commerce from the state so it can go pure narco state with illegal weed grows.
This sounds like something an x Baltimore mob boss daughter dreamed up to skim off of.
“The Office of Tax Appeals agreed with the Franchise Tax Board.”
-fJRoberts-
To begin with, if California wants more revenue, it can lead all the states to put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional, Article I, Section 8-limited powers and a few other constitutionally enumerated expenses.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Next, without knowing more about this case, the Supreme Court needs to look at this case for the following reasons imo.
Not only does Blair S. Bindley not have a vote with how California taxes are spent, but the 11th Amendment prohibits Bindley from suing California.
"11th Amendment: The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State."
So the problem is taxation without representation imo, actually a common problem these days.

Back in the early 70’s I was in the Navy having enlisted in Pennsylvania. My folks moved to Wisconsin and I changed their address in my Navy records. I never even visited Wisconsin. After tax filing season I got a letter from Wisconsin demanding I pay them a couple hundred bucks for income tax since my parents lived there. I went to base legal who told me to throw the letter in the trash - which I did. Wisconsin sued, and won a default judgement, then tried to take part of my pay. Again legal got involved, sent a couple letters and the whole affair went away. My folks moved back to PA after about a year so their address changed again. To this day I have not been in Wisconsin!
A part of our income is derived from an out-of-state LLC which is half owned by our S-Corp. We pay state taxes for that portion of our income to that state, and that income is deducted from our tax liability in our home state.
It usually depends on whether or not you have a nexus in that state.
I moved to Georgia while still an employee of a Massachusetts based company. I worked remotely for about 10 years before retiring. Since I had become a legal resident of Georgia I only paid income tax to the state of Georgia. How does California get away with this crap?
“The California Franchise Tax Board matched income records showing that he collected $40,000 of income from California companies.”
