You may be subject to California Taxes and not know it!

The California legislature has passes a bill to make many people who believe that they are not subject to taxation by California. This bill states that you are subject to tax if you "enter into an agreement with a California business or other entity under which the California entity, for a commission or other consideration, directly or indirectly refers potential customers of tangible personal property." "The referral could be by a link or an Internet Web Site or any other means." If you have an independent sales rep or any affiliates in California, you could be subject to California taxes. If the governor signs this bill into law, you will suddenly discover you are subject to California taxes even though you have never been to the state. Worse yet, twenty-one other state are looking into this method of increasing their taxes. New York started this scam with the so-called Amazon Tax. All we can do is petition Congress to forbid this scam under the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The time to fight this monstrosity is now.
