“In June, Chicago decided that its 9 percent ‘amusement tax’ should cover Netflix, Spotify, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and other streaming services, to help make up for sales tax revenue lost to falling DVD and CD sales. In Rhode Island in July, a 13 percent ‘short-term room rental’ tax went into effect that covers Airbnb and other home-sharing sites. Chicago’s busy mayor proposed $48 million come from higher fees on taxis and ride-sharing services. Nevada expanded the “live entertainment” tax to cover two of its biggest attractions for the first time: the Burning Man festival, held every year in the Nevada desert, and the Electric Daisy Carnival, a Las Vegas dance festival.”
