Yup, just ANOTHER wonderful reason to move to Chicago. In Chicago, buying a subscription to streaming media, such as Netflix or Spotify, would qualify, as would using a cloud computing platform, such as Amazon Web Services. Each would be subject to 9% tax; Chicago is the first major American city to levy a tax on either streaming services or cloud computing services. Yeah, cause the democrats running that city got it all figured out.
