The Windy City is enacting a 9 percent tax on streaming services.
People in the Windy City soon will be paying a little more to stream their favorite movies, TV shows and music.
Chicago has enacted a "cloud tax," which will tack on 9 percent to streaming services like Netflix and Spotify, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
It's an expansion of the city's amusement tax, which taxes things like movies and tickets to sporting events. The streaming provision of the amusement tax takes effect in September, and the city estimates it will bring in $12 million annually.
Figures it's a democratic controlled city.
