This is a proposal to reform California's taxes. Instead of taxing Californians' businesses, which can just simply relocate to another state, California should tax mainly what can never leave its borders--its real estate. In addition, California should stop state income and sales taxes.

In states without state income tax, higher sales, property and other assorted taxes can exceed the annual cost of a state income tax. Texas is one of seven states that do not levy an individual income tax. The Tax Foundation, a conservative-leaning research group, ranks Texas ninth-best on its State Business Tax Climate Index, largely because of the state’s lack of an income tax. On three of the foundation’s other major rankings — property taxes, sales taxes and corporate taxes — Texas ranks in the bottom 20 states. Texas does not have a statewide property tax, but local property taxes remain a crucial complaint among businesses and homeowners. (Terrence, 2002) The main benefit is that states with no income tax become a beacon for growth. They 're better at creating jobs and keeping a core of young, educated workers from moving to other states. The issue is undoubtedly controversial. Public opinion usually swings with the size of one 's paycheck and the role people think governments should play in shaping society. Texas has an above-average sales taxes, and Texas also has higher-than-average effective property tax rates. Cutting the income tax will boost take-home pay for everyone. It 'll make the state more attractive than its neighbors, creating jobs, drawing new businesses, and sparking an influx of talented workers.

So you would think Ohio would have a great climate for small business, especially since it’s a Republican state. That’s not the case. See, there is this tax called the Commercial Activity Tax, which makes it virtually impossible for small businesses to remain financially stable in the state of Ohio. According to the Ohio Department of Taxation, “The commercial activity tax (CAT) is an annual tax imposed on the privilege of doing business in Ohio, measured by gross receipts from business activities in Ohio. Businesses with Ohio taxable gross receipts of $150,000 or more per calendar year must register for the CAT, file all the applicable returns, and make all corresponding payments” (ODT). To understand what all this means, you must first understand that gross receipts are basically the total amount of money that a company or business received before taxes. If a business receives over $150,000 they are required to pay $150, or the Annual Minimum Tax, with no excessive tax. But any business receiving over $1 million in a calendar year is required to pay a rate of 0.26% on all gross receipts and about $1000 to $2000 for the Annual Minimum Tax. It doesn’t sound too bad in theory, but according to an article titled Ohio’s Commercial Activity Tax: A Reappraisal, written by

This 5th week at my IPPE, my preceptor and I started with talking about Ohio law about the exception where a pharmacist can dispense a partial fill of a CII medication. Before starting of work, we went to the Ohio Board Pharmacy website and looked up the document related to CII medication. “4729-5-26” specifically talked about it and it states that pharmacist can dispense a partial fill when the patient is terminally ill, especially for care facilities. Additionally, the pharmacist must document the form afterward. My preceptor emphasized that reviewing the law is quite important, and it is a primary responsibility for all the pharmacist.

Maintaining the current status quo also has some advantages. The Iowa Department of Revenue, which currently oversees the collection of all state tax revenue, would not have to make any changes. The department would not need any restructuring or staff changes, making the status quo a very administratively feasible policy alternative. Maintaining the status quo would also be acceptable to corporations and businesses who currently benefit from Iowa’s corporate tax system, including the credits and incentives that come with the 12% bracketed system.
