How Will Your State Be Impacted By Sequestration?
Five days. That’s how long until the sequestration goes into effect. Sequestration, painted as one half of the worst thing ever, is a series of across the board federal cuts that are scheduled to occur if Congress doesn’t act to cut spending. And Congress hasn’t acted on spending since 2011 (when they voted not to…
Sales Tax Takes A Holiday
Each year, several states offer a “holiday” from sales tax in order to increase spending before school begins. Here are some sales tax holidays that I’m aware of.

Sometimes it doesn’t matter. As I noted in the “Telecommuters, too” section of this post http://dontmesswithtaxes.typepad.com/dont_mess_with_taxes/global/page/2/ the hubby and I living in no-income-tax Texas doesn’t matter to Georgia. My husband gets a paycheck from a Georgia company, so even though he never goes into an office in that state, his employer withholds Georgia taxes. Majorly maddening!

Not a state thing, but I think my boss chose to register the business in the city adjacent to ours for lower tax. I don’t know the details.
moved from Maine to Tennessee-no State income tax on pensions, 90% reduction in our property taxes, low vehicle registration fees-Sales Tax is 7%, Maine was 5%, but the other reductions in expenses was a huge difference.
We moved from Taxifornia to Nevada in ’99
Moved from California to Texas. From taxing everything to just sales tax.
