Has anyone here been affected by this tax and its ambush-style penalties? It looks like the Guild has been involved, so I'm assuming members are aware, and have made arrangements.
First-timers, freelancers in all kinds of media, and non-Guild writers may be looking at some heinous penalties. If you make a couple of grand in any given year, you could be on the hook for thirty grand if you don't get your paperwork in on time. Crazy.
