In this case, the gold would be your hard-earned cash, and the hills would be your pocketbook.
It looks like maybe South Dakota bureaucrats are looking to get a piece of the online downloadable content cash with HB 1017. Game Politics breaks it down for us:
…a tax at the same rate as that imposed upon sales of tangible personal property in this state upon the gross receipts of all sales, leases, or rentals of any product transferred electronically.
Ugh. Let’s hope they’re not really looking at taxing DLC. I don’t want to pay tax on virtual horse armor that I bought for my not-real horse. That’s a bunch of horsesh*t.
As Game Politics points out, other state’s lawmakers could easily fall in line with this, each wanting their own piece of the DLC pie.
What do you think? Should the man be able to tax us on downloadable content?
