<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1373606, member: 22143&quot;]On the example of Sears, with the old law, Sears has always been in NC so the tax applies in any case even if you order from their catalog.&nbsp; Your example doesn&#039;t apply.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Since you have apparently done some Google searching you have discovered that the current governor and the NC legislature passed an &quot;Amazon Tax&quot;.&nbsp; In order to keep from having to say they created a new tax, they took a sneaky approach.&nbsp; They took an existing law, which had no practical purpose anymore, and rewrote it to make it into an Amazon tax.&nbsp; They then claimed this law had always been there.&nbsp;&nbsp; Because of these tactics, the Governor&#039;s political party lost its 100 year control over the legislature and the governor herself has decided not to run again.&nbsp; It&#039;s an amazing downfall for someone who was one of Obama&#039;s proteges.&nbsp;&nbsp; In any case, I was 100% correct in what I said in that the law as it stands now, does not require a person who purchases a coin in SC, while in SC to pay NC taxes.&nbsp;&nbsp; You jumped in on this not knowing what you are talking about and also derailed the topic.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In addition concerning the the NC Highway Use Tax, like the NC law cited above, you were completely wrong.&nbsp; The NC Highway Use Tax&nbsp; is only assessed on vehicles when their title is registered in the state so the owner can receive a tag.&nbsp;&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t matter where the car was purchased.&nbsp; See <b><a href="http://www.ncdot.gov/dmv/vehicle/title/tax/default.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ncdot.gov/dmv/vehicle/title/tax/default.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</b>&nbsp; Here is the relevant citation:</p><p><br /></p><blockquote><p>North Carolina collects a Highway Use Tax (HUT) on vehicles instead of a state sales tax. [highlight]The tax is assessed each time a title is transferred.[/highlight] </p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It should be obvious, even to a self proclaimed tax expert, that titles registered with the state, only apply to state residents or non-residents with a NC tag.&nbsp;&nbsp; People driving through the state are unaffected.&nbsp;&nbsp; Nothing else to say about it.&nbsp; You were wrong.&nbsp;&nbsp; This is why I pay no mind to someone who constantly claims they are right because they are the expert.&nbsp; As this example proves, they often are not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
