Anyone else notice that Cleon is charging a sales tax on his "out of state" sales?

I'm pretty sure most online sales are supposed to include sales tax after Jan 1 2019. It's generally more dependent on where the buyer lives rather than the seller.

I had some prints up for auction on ebay in Feb and the Washington resident that won was more than a little shocked when he was charged 10% sales tax.
I'm not someone else.

Not really. It matters where the seller is based and what the (new) laws of the state you are selling to are post the South Dakota vs Wayfair decision. In general, many states have said that if you do 100k in sales or 200 transactions within a state in a year, you are required to collect sales tax for that state. However, a lot of states still don't have an official policy or it hasn't gone into effect yet.

Afaik he ships from California and I live in Texas, I looked around and there is nothing I can find about that being legal. I wonder where he plans to send the tax revenue too or maybe he just pockets it for spending money? lol

It looks like it's required if he does 500k in transactions a year in Tejas, which I highly doubt he does. Even if he doesn't, see below:

What does the decision mean for Texas purchasers?
If you purchase taxable items from remote sellers that have not previously collected sales tax, many of these sellers will begin collecting the applicable sales tax on your purchases delivered into Texas. If any purchases are not taxed appropriately, you must still report the applicable use tax directly to the Comptroller’s office on these purchases.

P.S. It wouldn't surprise me if some of the e-commerce platforms like shopify and bigcartel start facilitating the tracking and remittance of out of state taxes (if they aren't already).

It was the next logical step in his artistic evolution after #pisstrump

You couldn't pay me enough to hang this in my house.

I would take a beheading or bed piss over this one.

Yeah his response to the critics on Insta is pretty predictable too. I mean I agree that a function of art is to question your surroundings but this is pretty lazy and uninspired. I love his work and wish he would stick to the brutal imagery as it can pretty much say the same thing without being so on the nose.

Officially done with Cleon after what he done to Tristan Eaton. What a complete prick...mods can lock this thread as i've made a terrible mistake promoting him here :thumbdown:
