Tax proposal would tax visiting pro athletes in Tennessee
The Tennessee tax reform bill would tax income from sports events at 4.5 percent with exemptions, affecting visiting stars like Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson. If applied, Tyson and Lewis could owe over 785000 dollars each, though current law exempts Tennessee wages. Local and national tax histories shape the plan as states tax nonresidents for earnings from games played there.
