What, what are some of the, the items related to wholesale bead that you all are, you know, watching and reporting?<\/p>\n<p>Sure. Well, well there are a few, uh, you know, certainly the case itself, uh, which is, uh, currently un appealed. Before the Fifth Circuit, uh, you know, federal judge had dismissed the Ted Beats challenge on the Tax Injunction Act grounds saying that, you know, federal courts didn't have jurisdiction cuz uh, you know, it involves a state tax issue.<\/p>\n<p>And so that's really the issue that's on appeal now. Um, not so much the merits of whether or. Louisiana's decentralized, uh, local sales tax system, you know, could potentially, um, you know, impose undue burdens under, under Wayfair. Uh, the taxpayers made the case that, or at least argued that, uh, the Tax Injunction Act shouldn't apply here because they're challenging the, the burdens themselves, the alleged burdens themselves instead of an actual tax assessment.<\/p>\n<p>So they think that's kind of an exception to the Tax Injunction Act. Uh, that's really where it's before. What's before the court now at the Fifth Circuit, and I don't think any briefs have been filed yet there, uh, on appeal. But, uh, kind of related to that, there was a constitutional amendment that Louisiana voters had, uh, rejected last year.<\/p>\n<p>It was closed, I think it was 51 49 or 52 48 that they voted against, uh, creating a single unified central sales tax collection system for both in-state and outta state. Uh, Businesses. Cause right now the Louisiana does have their centralized remote seller commission for, uh, for remote sellers to file through as one portal.<\/p>\n<p>And in-state, businesses have to file with each parish in which they, in which they do business. And so after the voters rejected that amendment last year, there was an effort this year to get it on the ballot again. And you know that the Halstead be case was filed just a few days after the constitutional amendment, uh, result.<\/p>\n<p>From last year and there, there was a push to get it on the ballot again this year, and it got all the way to the end. It just needed one final concurrence vote from the Louisiana House and it didn't come up. And essentially the local government groups there had, you know, had some opposition to it throughout.<\/p>\n<p>Uh, they thought that they wanted it to say more that. The single commission would handle the remittance of taxes instead of the collection and the sponsors and proponents of the amendment said, Well, collection is what this is all about. Uh, you know, so there's, there's a push and pull there as to, you know, how much power the local governments wanted to retain for the local tax collection versus, you know, what the, the sponsors thought that the state, you know, may need to do is, you know, some have argued to, to comply with Wayfair.<\/p>\n<p>Uh, it, it is interesting to note though. Halted be case that, uh, you know, the, the complaint that halted be filed didn't actually mention the remote sellers commission, at least not by name. And that was an argument that the, the parishes and the State Department of Revenue, which was also involved in the case, uh, had made, you know, that they already offered this, symbolized the centralized sales tax collection entity.<\/p>\n<p>Um, you know, that they've tried to reduce the burdens. Uh, for remote sellers. Uh, I can tell you counsel for , Joseph Bishop henchman from the National Taxpayers Union. Uh, you know, I asked him about that in one of our stories and, and he had said, Well, centralized filing isn't everything. The commission still directs you to the individual parishes to figure out some of the local rules, and it doesn't do enough.<\/p>\n<p>Um, but that is one element of the case, you know, if the merits do get decided on, is. Louisiana has a centralized collection effort in place. Um, I guess you know, the question is, is it enough? Um, but you know, certainly right now they, they're collecting and um, I think their latest report said that they collected more than, um, Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Actually I'll stop that cause I didn't look at the report before we came on, but, um, You know, the remote Sellers Commission has been, you know, operational for a couple years now and it is collecting revenue, uh, for the state. Yeah, well, it'd be very interesting to see with our subsystem in Colorado as well.<\/p>\n<p>Arizona's been very successful with the cities. The home World City's being collected, the state level for more than four years, so clearly there's more money going out to them and being collected because it.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<div

What, what are some of the, the items related to wholesale bead that you all are, you know, watching and reporting?\r\n\r\nSure. Well, well there are a few, uh, you know, certainly the case itself, uh, which is, uh, currently un appealed. Before the Fifth Circuit, uh, you know, federal judge had dismissed the Ted Beats challenge on the Tax Injunction Act grounds saying that, you know, federal courts didn't have jurisdiction cuz uh, you know, it involves a state tax issue.\r\n\r\nAnd so that's really the issue that's on appeal now. Um, not so much the merits of whether or. Louisiana's decentralized, uh, local sales tax system, you know, could potentially, um, you know, impose undue burdens under, under Wayfair. Uh, the taxpayers made the case that, or at least argued that, uh, the Tax Injunction Act shouldn't apply here because they're challenging the, the burdens themselves, the alleged burdens themselves instead of an actual tax assessment.\r\n\r\nSo they think that's kind of an exception to the Tax Injunction Act. Uh, that's really where it's before. What's before the court now at the Fifth Circuit, and I don't think any briefs have been filed yet there, uh, on appeal. But, uh, kind of related to that, there was a constitutional amendment that Louisiana voters had, uh, rejected last year.\r\n\r\nIt was closed, I think it was 51 49 or 52 48 that they voted against, uh, creating a single unified central sales tax collection system for both in-state and outta state. Uh, Businesses. Cause right now the Louisiana does have their centralized remote seller commission for, uh, for remote sellers to file through as one portal.\r\n\r\nAnd in-state, businesses have to file with each parish in which they, in which they do business. And so after the voters rejected that amendment last year, there was an effort this year to get it on the ballot again. And you know that the Halstead be case was filed just a few days after the constitutional amendment, uh, result.\r\n\r\nFrom last year and there, there was a push to get it on the ballot again this year, and it got all the way to the end. It just needed one final concurrence vote from the Louisiana House and it didn't come up. And essentially the local government groups there had, you know, had some opposition to it throughout.\r\n\r\nUh, they thought that they wanted it to say more that. The single commission would handle the remittance of taxes instead of the collection and the sponsors and proponents of the amendment said, Well, collection is what this is all about. Uh, you know, so there's, there's a push and pull there as to, you know, how much power the local governments wanted to retain for the local tax collection versus, you know, what the, the sponsors thought that the state, you know, may need to do is, you know, some have argued to, to comply with Wayfair.\r\n\r\nUh, it, it is interesting to note though. Halted be case that, uh, you know, the, the complaint that halted be filed didn't actually mention the remote sellers commission, at least not by name. And that was an argument that the, the parishes and the State Department of Revenue, which was also involved in the case, uh, had made, you know, that they already offered this, symbolized the centralized sales tax collection entity.\r\n\r\nUm, you know, that they've tried to reduce the burdens. Uh, for remote sellers. Uh, I can tell you counsel for , Joseph Bishop henchman from the National Taxpayers Union. Uh, you know, I asked him about that in one of our stories and, and he had said, Well, centralized filing isn't everything. The commission still directs you to the individual parishes to figure out some of the local rules, and it doesn't do enough.\r\n\r\nUm, but that is one element of the case, you know, if the merits do get decided on, is. Louisiana has a centralized collection effort in place. Um, I guess you know, the question is, is it enough? Um, but you know, certainly right now they, they're collecting and um, I think their latest report said that they collected more than, um, Yeah.\r\n\r\nActually I'll stop that cause I didn't look at the report before we came on, but, um, You know, the remote Sellers Commission has been, you know, operational for a couple years now and it is collecting revenue, uh, for the state. Yeah, well, it'd be very interesting to see with our subsystem in Colorado as well.\r\n\r\nArizona's been very successful with the cities. The home World City's being collected, the state level for more than four years, so clearly there's more money going out to them and being collected because it.","footnotes":""},"categories":[723,229,226],"tags":[252,167,284,126,265,476,999,30,1007,80,141],"class_list":["post-11493","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-podcast","category-state-and-local","category-tax-news","tag-accountant","tag-california","tag-cfo","tag-cpa","tag-finance-professional","tag-franchise-tax","tag-public-law-86-272","tag-state-and-local-tax","tag-tax-cases","tag-tax-provider","tag-tax-returns"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/taxops.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11493","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/taxops.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/taxops.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/taxops.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/taxops.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11493"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/taxops.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11493\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11498,"href":"https:\/\/taxops.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11493\/revisions\/11498"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/taxops.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/taxops.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/taxops.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
