I saw this yesterday but I couldn’t believe my eyes. Business who work in the District, but are incorporated elsewhere, have been illegally taxed by the District. Granted, there are still appeals that could be taken here, but the District could be out tens of millions of dollars in revenues if this ruling is upheld at the Supreme Court where it will likely be heard in the coming months and years.
Worse still for the District, many of those businesses could ask for their tax payments back…
The tax has been in place since 1947.
I smell disaster…

I live and work in the District of Columbia. I write at We Love DC, a blog I helped start, I work at Technolutionary, a company I helped start, and I’m happy doing both. I enjoy watching baseball, cooking, and gardening. I grow a mean pepper, keep a clean scorebook, and wash the dishes when I’m done. Read Why I Love DC.
