Leaving California And Its Taxes? Be Careful

Related to the Carl's Jr. article. California is actually finding ways to tax people who leave the State.

It is easy to love California, but its high taxes? Not so much. And it just got worse as California Voters Sock It To The Rich. Some will head for the exits before selling real estate or a business, taking a company public or winning a large legal settlement. Here are a few tips culled from 30 years of tax practice in the Golden State.

A California resident is anyone in the state for other than a temporary or transitory purpose. See FTB Publication 1031. Plus, it includes anyone domiciled in California who is outside the state for a temporary or transitory purpose. The burden is on you to show you’re not a Californian.....

High tax states are actually penalizing people and businesses who move out of state.

California launches campaign to collect taxes from out-of-state entities

A common misperception is that an entity formed in a state other than California is not subject to tax by California, which is fueled by a considerable amount of advertising encouraging Californians to save taxes by incorporating out of state. In reality, where an entity is formed has no impact on how California taxes it. The Franchise Tax Board (FTB) has launched a publicity and enforcement campaign to increase the public’s awareness of how out-of-state entities are taxed in California.....

Moral of the story, liberals will try to penalize you for avoiding liberalism like oppressive taxes and regulations.

Sounds just like Trump, with his threats of tariffs and punishments for companies that go offshore.

I would guess the best policy, if you own a home and want to leave CA is to burn your house down and then collect an insurance check. Let CA try and get their hands on that in TX.
