" I suspect that in reality sales between individuals would not be taxed but sales by businesses specializing in used items would be taxed."I think the company would have to charge sales tax on the difference between what they paid for the used item and what they sold it for. Otherwise it would be easy to legally get around the tax. Example: if you were going to refinish a table, the business could "buy" it from you, refinish it, and then "sell" it back to you at a higher price and avoid the tax for the refinishing service. What about a used car with new tires? Does the business charge sales tax on the tires?
Nonsense, Nightie. And your misrepresentations don't help clarify anything.
