Federal Tobacco Tax Proposal May Result in 50% Increase in State Taxes
Much has been written about the House Democrats' proposal to increase tobacco and nicotine products taxes over the last week.
The federal government is not the only government entity to tax tobacco products—all states and many localities tax tobacco as well. Every state taxes cigarettes by quantity, but a majority tax other tobacco products (OTP) by price ( ad valorem ).
California Taxes Residents—Even Temporary Ones
California regulations say that whether the purpose an individual is in the state is temporary or transitory depends on the facts and circumstances. Passing through is OK.

Congress needs to increase my taxes - Roll Call
Our tax code is one of the biggest scams in America, and the wealthy have been taking advantage of it for years. The worst part of this scam is that it is all legal. I would know because my family benefits from it.
In America, my story is possible, but it is growing more improbable in large part because our tax system has grown more and more unequal. How is it that a coffee shop barista pays 12 percent in taxes a year when Elon Musk paid less than 3 percent ?
