NO - I'm not. It is you trying to spin what Linder said as though he intended that to be the general case when what he was talking about were sales tax credit mechanisms that could be used for business conversions to personal use, etc.You are trying to spin. Linder specifically stated, "we would not ask the Home Depot to make the decision whether or not to raise the tax from them [businesses]." That doesn't jive with what you are saying.
That is very clear from the bill as is the language that describes the normal case:It's very clear from the bill that a "seller shall be relieved of the duty to collect and remit the tax imposed under section 101 on such purchase IF the seller received in good faith, and retains on file for the period set forth in section 509, a copy of a registration certificate from the purchaser." What Linder is saying is that places like Home Depot won't be accepting certificates so they will never receive it and thus will be "relieved of the duty to collect and remit the tax." They won't be asked to "make the decision whether or not to raise the tax from [businesses]."
This has been pointed oput to you before Nightie, so you cannot honestly pretend you didn't know it.I thought I knew until I read Linder's testimony. I bet he would know better than either of us.
I thought I knew until I read Linder's testimony. I bet he would know better than either of us.Better than one of you for sure but don't put money on it. He didn't know there was a 30% sales tax in HIS bill ON "any government" wages, salaries and benefits
And if you look at his Rube Goldberg operation of states collecting and remitting federal taxes and the federal government collecting and remitting state taxes, one doesn't have to wonder too hard about the low intellect level of Linder.
No, it's quite clear that the registration certificate would be the requirement for most retailers. Many of them operate in this fashion right now. Present your certificate and claim the non-taxed status.
The credit that may be cleimed by the procedure mentioned is for conversion of a business purchase to a personal purchase and for other excep[tions. It is not the normal method of claiming "no tax". That would make it into something like a credit invoice VAT which it is not. Most stores such as Home Depot accept such certificates right now.
And YOU are the one always whining about us "putting words in someone else's mouth" when you're trying to insert you own interpretation into his statement.
In Georgia, stores can't sell alcohol on Sunday. Why hasn't that been done away with? It is my understanding the courts have found that since the state of Ga. collects taxes on alcohol the state can decide when and where it will collect those taxes. So the state winds up shutting down the package stores on Sunday.
If HD's certificate can be revoked can't the Gov shut them down because they can no longer collect the tax? If so, this will have to be addressed in the write-ups.
