Message:: [QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1611818, member: 26302"]Conder and Rick nailed it. The only "correction" I would add is that CA allows exemptions from sellers having to register and remit taxes if they ONLY go to 2 or 3 shows a year in CA and have no other nexus. So, I am sure many dealers in CA shows do not charge sales taxes on purchases. However, any CA based dealer still would have to. Also, do not forget that even at con shows if the dealer does not charge you sales tax you are still legally responsible to pay use tax to the state. That is the law. Now, I will admit I normally do not remit use taxes, most people don't, that is why the states are trying to change the law and force internet sellers to collect the taxes for them. Its simply impossible to go after all taxpayers, and easier to chase down the sellers. Conder touched on this, but I would point out to LGL again the fact that in NO state are sellers responsible for this tax. NONE. Its illegal for states to tax sellers on the transaction, but acceptable to tax the transaction, make the buyer pay it, but simply have the sellers remit it. There is case law from the early 30's if you are curious why. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
