If a sales tax is an excise tax, why do they need a Sales Tax Bureau;

Read the bill , section 404, where you got the quote, when a state chooses not to administer or make provision for the adminstration of the NRST, the Sales Tax Bureau is the office that will administer the NRST in that state:

`SEC. 404. FEDERAL ADMINISTRATION IN CERTAIN STATES.

• `The Secretary shall administer the tax imposed by this subtitle in any State or other United States jurisdiction that--

• • `(1) is not an administering State, or

• • `(2) elected to have another State administer its tax in accordance with section 401(g).

.

and an Excise Tax Bureau?

"to administer those excise taxes not administered by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms." per the section you quoted. Don't read very well do you.

 

Give it up, Ahab, or you'll go down with the whale.

Such cheekiness from the peanut gallery. I note when you fail to make your case in one level, you decide to judge your case the rapidly go on to try another sloppy argument to try again. The fevered last grasps of the desparate.

Oh well, anything relating to the topic of the thread is reasonable to keep on gathering ineterst and educate the world on the particulars of the NRST :O)

Ahh dear me, need to cruise awhile, be back soon so don't go far.

Then its back to "Here fishy fishy fishy, I got a nice sharp surprise for yah." :O)

[Your Nightmare]

Yet again your cut and paste posts are irrelevant. You posted nothing that even hinted that a sales tax is an excise tax.

If the sales tax is an excise tax and the states collect the sales tax or the Sales Tax Bureau collects it in states that don't, what exactly is the Excise Tax Bureau collecting?
