Sales tax at coin shows

Hmmm Beaches and great weather were there before the tax's or the government and as for Free Education many go to Private school and still have to pay double tax's to get a education that is cheaper and better then the states.

I live in California and I've never paid taxes at a coin show either. I don't see that we have to start now!! BTW, tax is now 9.25 here!! Ouch!

 

I guess you didn't get one of them good edumacations.

 

State sales tax laws also include use tax. If you avoid paying one then more than likely you owe the other.

 

States (and Cities) Without Sales Tax?

Reading this through, I understand that there is no sales tax in the state of Oregon. In the states of Nevada and Georgia there is no sales tax on coins and bullion. Here, too, in Michigan, there is no sales tax on numismatics: coins, paper, bullion.

Ohio used to have no taxes when the dealers realized how much they were losing across the northern border. But that came -- and went -- with Toledo dealer and GOP stalwart Tom Noe's rise and fall ("Coingate").

New Hampshire has no sales tax, according the the Wikipedia article on state sales taxes here, which is incomplete in its treatments.

(In Ohio -- correct me -- if you eat in at McDonald's, it is taxed as a restaurant service, but if you take it out, it is considered "groceries" and is not taxed. I traveled a lot on business a few years ago. In North Carolina? or Kentucky? white t-shirts were necessities and not taxed, but t-shirts with printing were luxuries subject to sales tax. On the comparisons and contrasts with bars and liquor stores, alcohol is often specially regulated. In some states you can only buy it from a state retail store. Also consider gasoline at the pump: taxes included, not itemized on the receipt -- special regulations.)

No sales tax in New Mexico.

A whole other discussion, but I want to go on record as being one of many who look at the production of shoes and computers and figure that everything the government does for "free" in return for taxes could be done better in a free market by businesses seeking profits. Although I believe that the market can also deliver superior quality at lower costs in protection and adjudication, with many years of political reading behind my new master's in social science, I understand and appreciate the viewpoint that a modicum of good laws, a minimal police presence, and a volunteer army all help make that free market possible. However we work that part out, the fact remains that schools, transportation, hospitals, parks and the rest are beyond the proper role of government. Just making a statement that I will not argue here.

 

you still pay tax on the soda, as that is not considered a grocery. the food is not taxed on a "to go" order.

I can't believe you recently received a Masters and still have these viewpoints. Don't they try to teach you out of feelings like that in most colleges?

 

A lot of states exempt collectiable coins from sales tax.;

 

If I pay cash, no sales tax..Plain and simple.

 

I have attended over 20 shows in my collecting life and have yet to pay any sales tax. I have attended shows in MN, IA, and SD.

 

You wouln't by chance be from Detroit, would you?

Well, I wasn't too far off! I work with a guy who recently moved to Wisconsin from Detroit. Your post made me think of his statements of life there.

 

What is taxable varies greatly from state to state. Here in Pennsylvania, prepared foods are taxed but ingredients aren't. So if you buy a cooked chicken at the supermarket, you pay tax but not if you buy a raw chicken. Clothes aren't taxed but swimsuits are. We used to have no taxes on magazines but comic books were taxed. Now magazines are taxed. Carry out fast food wasn't taxed and dine in was but they changed that because people got clever and would order to go and then sit down and eat.

In Virginia, large marshmallows are taxed as a candy but small ones are not taxed because they are a baking supply.

In Maryland which is where I had my computer business, labor for repairs wasn't taxed but labor for upgrades was taxed.

 

It's really sad that some people have to plan their life around taxes. Where to live, what to buy, where to buy it, when to buy it, what not to buy. Now it appears that people are planning their deaths around taxes:


Wyoming Rep. Lummis: Estate tax rise has some planning death

 

Just HIGH Property Tax, High Income Tax here.
