Hi Gang… Just thought that I would mention that there is NO SALES TAX on
software in the state of Chicago!!! NONE!!! I complained at Creative Computers
and after being called some names by the owner…. got a refund on the "TAX" he
charged… sounded more like an easy way for him to make an extra 8% profit!!!
NO :>

AmiEXPO really dropped the ball on finding the sales tax information for
developers. In LA last fall, they alerted the local taxation agency, who sent
out forms to everyone who ordered a booth. In Chicago, developers were still
asking each other about the sales tax moments before the show started, and the
word got around that it was eight percent.
I'm confused. When did Chicago become a state? And did they have to use
union-labor to draw the dotted lines around it?
Seriously, I talked at that guy, and he seemed REAL angry that he had to
charge the tax at this show, because he felt alot of people weren't buying
product because of it. And he handed out coupons for 5% off their price for
folks to mail-order, with no shipping fee, as an enticement to keep 'em
interested. Almost sounds like he screwed up and didn't check the laws
carefully enough. Oops.
Not only is there no sales tax in the state of Chicago, there is no state of
Chicago! 🙂
