Tax on Service

Tax on Service? Our city just started taxing Gym Membership and this would equate to a tax on a service!

Many of us in Tucson provide service: barbers, painters, etc. I am the owner of iRapture.com which is a business that provides service. I am concerned that they are going to (continue to) make our businesses more difficult to operate above water.

They also increased taxes on utilities by approximately 10%. But what is unique about the gym membership tax is that the city of tucson is not just a TAXING AUTHORITY, but they are also A COMPETITOR with their disgusting cheap work out areas. (I tried to play racquetball at one of their underkept racquetball courts in an expensive facility that had a used bandade on the wall along with some mustard 'stuff'.)
