If you shop in Delaware, your home state expects you to send them the tax! HAHAHA!

[Death Metal Moe]

I JUST saw a report on this subject on some local NJ channel called CN8. It's channel 45 near me on Cablevision. The channel isn't important.

The report said that people close to Delaware are shopping there because Delaware doesn't have Sales Tax. So they were interviewing people from Jersey, Pennsy, Maryland and so forth.

But the REAL joke is that your state EXPECTS you to send the the appropriate ammount of sales tax to your capitol! They showed the NJ form for it. You're supposed to fill it out with all your info and the price, calculate the tax and mail it in.

Now the OBVIOUS question you have is: How will they know?

Well, the reported said that local states are trying to figure out ways to track purchases in Delaware. But it's gonna be hard for the smaller stuff.

They said the main things that get caught are large purchases.

This also answers a question someone on the board asked about saving money by going down to Delaware and buying a car. A LARGE purchase like that would definitly tip off someone, and your state would want the tax.

FUCK THAT!!!!!!!!

I wonder about the whole legality of imposing such a tax. If you purchase something in NY or Delaware, but live in Jersey, why should Jersey have the right to tax that purchase?

I wonder what legal precedent covers this, because I'd like to read it. I need a good laugh...

I remember New York City and New York State got their panties in a bunch because so many New Yorkers would shop in Jersey City and Elizabeth b/c the sales tax is just 3% (and there's no sales tax on clothing). They were actually going to parking lots and photographing NY license plates and sending people warnings. UNBELIEVABLE!

At least NYC wised up and dropped the sales tax on most clothing.

At least NYC wised up and dropped the sales tax on most clothing.But they're talking about re-instituting the commuter tax (on NJ residents who work in the city), probably to partially make up for the loss in revenue in sales tax.

Think about this MOE, the first time the World Trade Center was bombed. All they had was a blast crater and a pubic hair and two days later a guy in Libya was arrested. If they really wanted to know they would know...
