Hi,
I just purchased a handgun on Gunbroker for the first time. I live in upstate NY and the handgun is in a shop in Ohio. I set up the transfer with a local gun shop owner. He is doing the transfer for $25. After he sent out his FFL he stated that he would also have to collect sales tax on the handgun even though I already paid directly for the gun with a money order. Why would I have to pay sales tax to him if he doesn't collect any money from me other than the $25 for his service? If indeed he is not suppose to collect sales tax or I have the right to decide to pay it at the end of the year when I do my tax return, I do not want a conflict. I would like some kind of supporting document.
Thanks, Any advice is appreciated.
Mike
