We're happy to do so, as the more complicated you make a taxation system the more money goes on running it.

(Well, maybe "happy" is the wrong word - "willing" would be nearer the truth.)
Those of us who live here year round support the economy year round, Plus, we pay 7% tax on items that are tax free in other states.

I think creating a budget, for the year the money will be spent, and collected, is a simplified way. I don't see anything complicated about it.
