California Tries to Counteract Residents Fleeing Increased Taxes ( Since voting to increase taxes, tax revenues have.. gone done! )
After California residents voted to increase taxes via Proposition 30, state revenues have decreased, and residents and businesses are leaving to avoid burdensome taxes and regulations.
However, as Forbes notes, “leaving” California “is not always easy”; the state considers anyone in the state for anything other than a temporary or transitory purpose as a resident.
The burden is on the taxpayer to show they are not a Californian. The state presumes anyone who has been in California for at least nine months is a resident.
It “usually takes 18 months” for someone to no longer be presumed a resident, which can make it difficult for people who flee the state to convince the state government they are no longer California residents.
I remember hearing about Oprah Winfrey and her California home. It was said that she figures out the exact number of days she can live in that state PER YEAR in order to get around the residency rules. Of course she has another home, in a different state.
I don't know if this really is wise or foolish of someone as wealthy as Oprah. All she is doing is helping to finance more than one state.
Orthodoxy SUCKS.
