So if that's the case, does that mean the Californians can hold back on paying taxes? After all, they're not getting their money back so why should the state get theirs? Can the people choose to delay paying taxes for 30 days as well?

Kind of a funny thought, I know, but wondering how it works if the state owes you money and potentially might not pay you for a lot longer than 30 days as things get worse? Seems like you would have a logical (if not legal) precedent to withhold paying taxes if they're withholding your tax refund.

I guess people could just adjust their tax withdrawals with their employer to effectively keep them from paying any taxes, which would be legal (to a point) in the short term.

Thoughts?

 

here's to living in a state with no state income tax

 

We had a talk about his in the Bay Area Forums. And someone came to the conclusion (forgot who it was) that the government lives to be hypocritical. So no, we don't get to delay paying taxes. They're due when they're due .

Though, I suppose you could finish them now, and not pay 'till the due date in April, meaning you're waiting 3 months .

 

Does the lack of income tax mean more property tax? I know that's how it is in Oregon.

BTW, off topic, flojo: I still have the bass and I think it's like 20-25 to ship. Dunno if you saw my reply in the "free stuff" thread.

 

So the state of CA is bankrupt and the U.S. is something like $3Trillion on debt. Both are run by Republicans. Hmm...

yeah, it gets spread to property and sales tax. but it makes april 14th half as difficult.

 

If they're late paying tax refunds can we penalize them overdue fees? One year I was late paying my taxes and the government tacked on so many penalties and late fees I ended up paying twice the amount I originally owed.

 

The Governator is no dyed-in-the-wool Republican. He's another breed, just ask his wife!

 

I hate this stupid state. I can't wait to GTFO in June!

 

the Governator is barely Republican, and the state assembly has a Democrat majority....
