Sales tax on gun purchases etc.

[atblis]

What's the deal? I am used to not being charged sales tax on orders that are from a different state. Wolff just charged me sales tax. What's the deal? Are we supposed to be paying it?

 

[El Tejon]

Are you talking about the federal excise tax that you pay for the hunters or a state sales tax???

 

[Amish_Bill]

I assume you're talking about mail order from Wolff Gun Springs?

 

[Langenator]

No, it's that agreement between Visa, Mastercard, & Amex on one side, and a bunch of states on the other, to collect sales tax on web purchases. It's not just gun related stuff.

 

[El Tejon]

Springs, not ammo? Oh.

 

[Amish_Bill]

Springs, not ammo? Oh.

I've never heard of buying ammo directly from Wolf...

Depends on your state of residence, too.

Ohio now has a place on the state tax form for you to report out-of-state sales, and pay the appropriate tax. Internet, TV shopping channel, etc. Even if you go out of state personally and buy stuff...

 

[Amish_Bill]

If you go out of state and buy it, you've already paid that state's sale tax....

 

[El Tejon]

Bill, depends on how much one orders.
