Gestapo Tactics?
Couple of years ago tax agents from NY were staking out
jewelry stores in Jersey City (where tax was 3% vs NY 8.25)
were taking license plates and sending threatening letters
to everyone with NY plate saying “PAY UP YOU CHEATS!”
(would owe NY state sales tax on the purchase)
Local TV station (WABC) ran report on it forcing state
to stop......
Are they claiming that anything anyone purchases in another state is taxable by the home state, too?
Many of our founding fathers were smugglers.
