My in laws buy from the Res next to them and just walk in like a 7-11. No ID, no nuttin. No way to trace who bought what. Now the tribe might be liable if they sent a bill to them. Aren't they supposed to COLLECT the tax? If they don't collect it, hows the customer supposed to pay it?

They also sell gas there and I wondered if they had to pay the gas tax. They were usually cheaper than other stations, but not 40 cents cheaper.

My understanding is, and I am not a smoker and have never purchased at a rez, that you can pay cash and walk out. NO WA state tax is taken because they do not pay WA state any takes off Rez sales. That is my understanding. WA state has one of the strongest and widest NO smoking in clubs and restaurants in the country. But, you can smoke in any Rez casino or restaurant.
