- States are increasingly taxing streaming and other digital subscription services, moving away from the historical treatment of these services as nontaxable.
- Maine taxes certain streaming services, and Utah has broadened the range of taxable streaming and subscription-based services.
- In some jurisdictions, streaming may be taxed under a special regime rather than general sales tax; for example, Florida applies Communications Services Tax to certain communications and streaming-related services.
- Businesses should not assume streaming is exempt simply because it is outside a state’s general sales tax base; the applicable tax can vary significantly by state.
