Thread Title: "sales tax?"
circlei

Are there any new rules re sales taxes? I have seen some news items about taxing internet sales but what about a firearm sold to a buyer in another state through a FFL... does the buyer pay the sales tax in his state?

 

Thanks

In the States of Washington And California for sure. Maybe others?

In most states, the buyer -is- legally obligated to pay the sales tax to his or her state.  That said, most ignore that obligation.

Some states are trying to recover as much of this lost revenue as they can, and in the case of sales going through another state regulated business (ie, and FFL), they require THEM to collect that sales tax (Calif and Washington State).

Yup, the FFL accepting the transfer is required to collect sales tax for the purchase price AND shipping here in Washington.
