Gavin Newsom’s new software tax goes way beyond corporate softwares, California Democrats are going to tax everything They expect to make over $2 billion per year from this new tax, “They now define pre-written software as everything from Microsoft Office, Gmail accounts, Android operating systems — it has a computer, it has pre-written software. California is now going to tax that. Wow” I put together a list to give you an idea of how far this goes • Microsoft Office / 365 subscriptions • Gmail / Google Workspace • Slack • Workday • QuickBooks / Intuit products • Adobe Creative Cloud / Acrobat • Android operating system licenses (in applicable contexts) • Cloud-based CRM/ERP systems • Accounting/financial software (SaaS versions) • Project management tools (e.g., Asana, Monday. com) • Antivirus/security software (digital downloads/subscriptions) • Productivity suites (e.g., Zoom, Teams) • Database software (pre-written) • Graphic design/photo editing tools (cloud) • Operating system access/subscriptions (where pre-written) • Enterprise software platforms • HR/payroll SaaS tools • Marketing automation software • Collaboration/communication apps • Many mobile/desktop apps sold digitally So basically everything
