Kind of got myself addicted to shooting my .223's loaded to make a 55gr. bullet to conform with the Nikon M-223 scope. Well they aren't cheap, but once you get used to them, it's a fun way to hold dead on at different ranges. Got to thinking that if I should ever get another .223, I might want to lay another one back in the safe for future mounting. Get to looking around again for prices and Natchez has them again in the 1in. tube, and at 1/2 price. Seems Nikon is going to the 30mm way. Couldn't find any sites here in Indiana [land of taxes] that offered that price so I ordered the one from Natchez. Looked up the invoice and there was an Indiana Sales Taxes added even on the shipping. WTF is this county coming too? You can't find a great deal on what you want in this state, so you have to go out of state, and the politicians still want the tax because you found what you wanted, but it just happens to be over the state line. It seems that this chit is new on almost every thing, scopes, guns, cars you bought out of state while on vacation and drove it home, you owe INDY NOW WHERE money because you didn't buy it here. Maybe it's just way to many grey hairs on my head to understand this legal way of thinning your wallet. Someone out there care to sober me up to why I'm just not able to get with the program and bow to their way of thinking?

Sales tax had to be paid. The online sales had been a unintended loophole for years that was closed done time ago. My issue is the location of the buyer determines the sales tax paid. That requires retailers to follow sales tax laws from everywhere instead of the laws where they are. My personal preference would be sales tax of where the product was not the buyer.
Traditionally, we were required to report all online purchases on our state tax returns and pay the tax there. Seems maybe not enough people were complying.

They are making everybody legal by colecting sales tax on out of state purchases. If you look at the Indiana state tax return there is a place that you report out for state purchases and pay the sales tax. It has been that way for as long as I can remember. I woukld say 99% of the people never did it so now we have come to this. |

The things I sell on Ebay now the buyer must pay sales tax. Ebay takes care of all of it and I suppose pays the government its share from what is collected on my items that sell.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but here in Indiana we are not supposed to charge sales tax on shipping. Now if it's a combined "shipping and handling" price, then yes, sales tax has to be collected and paid, but NOT on straight shipping charges. What frosts my buns is that if you buy something that is used on ebay you still get charged sales tax. WHAT?  |

Not supposed to be on shipping and handling as those are considered "labor" or a service. Just as you don't pay your mechanic taxes on their labor; only on the parts.
