The tax would not apply to health care, education, construction, real estate commissions, insurance premiums or business-to-business transactions, but it would boost the number of consumer services that would be affected from 27 to about 150. If approved by the Legislature it would cost the average family with $50,000 income about $140 a year, state Treasurer Bob Kleine said.In the last go-round, the business-to-business taxes acted as a Value Added Tax and became a big problem. Now it is only a very costly proposal for the businesses and customers involved. Of course, accountants will love this.
