The Illinois Software Tax Proposal Just Got Worse ...
Last week, we emailed you about the proposed Illinois software tax -- and that was bad enough.
Well, it just got worse!
Originally,
the plan was only to slap a new tax on custom and licensed software.
But now the politicians in Springfield have added a new provision that wouldalso tax the services provided by those in the computer and software industries.
Click here to email your legislators today to urge them to oppose this tax on Illinois jobs, innovation and technology.
The new software tax proposal -- included in Senate Bill 750 -- will include a new sales tax on labor services for computers and software.
If this new tax passes, many Illinois employers will get hit by the tax if they pay
to:
- Repair computers
- Develop software
- Program computers
- Design web sites
- Other computer and software related services
Time is Running Out to Defeat this Tax
This proposal in Springfield takes dead aim at the tech industry in Illinois – software and
computers and the professional services that create and maintain them.
It also hits the employers who will be forced to pay more for these vital services that allow them to run their businesses.
Time is running out to defeat this onerous tax -- please click here to email your state legislators today!
Final decisions have not been made in Springfield. Your immediate action is vital.
This is a simple step that can stop a bad tax, protect Illinois jobs, and allow Illinois' technology firms to continue to innovate and lead our economy to get back on track.
