In what way are the states "greedy"? They're not hoarding the tax revenue. They're spending it on their citizens. Greed that is not. You may disagree with their allocation of tax revenue but calling it greedy is nonsense.
- powerslacker 5y agoI am quoting the author of the article.
- arcticbull 5y agoThat's fair I guess, I see your air-quotes now. If you want to have employees in secondary jurisdictions without having to deal with the specifics of operating within them, you can hire folks through a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) like Deel [1]. They'll take them on as full-time employees, pay benefits, handle paperwork - and assign them as full-time contractors to your business. No nexus for you, and full employment for the person working for you. It's not cheap, ofc, but hopefully your employee is generating sufficient value :) [1] https://www.letsdeel.com/ https://www.letsdeel.com/
- bpodgursky 5y agoIt's greed because the pain the cause with respect to compliance is not proportional to the amount of revenue they produce. They are willing to cause a lot of inefficiency in other states for a trifling amount of money. The cost is $800, and the author probably spent tens of thousands of dollars in time and energy figuring out how or if they needed to pay it. That ratio is not a good tax system!

- unethical_ban 5y agoYou think an $800 barrier to entry is a positive effect on small business in California? Do you think it's a positive effect on remote workers entertaining an out-of-state employer?
- arcticbull 5y agoI don't think it's a good idea, I also don't think it's greedy. To be honest though, $800 for a business ain't really much.
