No. The sax they owe will have to be paid -- since these purchases have already been recorded.

Correction -- the tax they owe . . .

LOL. Maybe they bought a sax, too -- I don't know.

I don't get it...

You said:

If you're looking to avoid paying exorbitant taxes on your cigarettes, your best course of action would be to buy your cigarettes at an Indian reservation or take a long trip down to Kentucky or North Carolina once a year to stock up on several hundred cartons.

then:

The sax they owe will have to be paid -- since these purchases have already been recorded.

So how would someone save?

Bottom line is, they are required to pay New Jersey the tax, regardless of where they got the merchandise. Same thing if you buy a car and take it across state lines. Same thing when New Jersey and Pennsylvania had a fight about people crossing the state line to buy alcohol. Same thing for Delaware having no sales tax and people in Pennsylvania going there to shop. In each case, the home state claims that you are supposed to pay them, as I understand it.

Am I misunderstanding?
