It's an interesting paradox for a sales tax. My understanding is that a sales tax is only supposed to be paid by the retail customer, and is not imposed at the wholesale level for products and raw materials that will be subject to sales tax later when the product is eventually sold.
Cars are a whole different story. The state would have no leverage to collect any sales tax on a used item that is sold in a private transaction. But in the case of a car the item has a title and is subject to a state registration fee, so the state has a mechanism to force the new owner to pay the tax.
How do you people know this stuff??
I feel like a @#$$ing moron on this board sometimes. :(
But i learn more every day and have for many years now.
Could fill a book with what I’ve learned on here, in many areas...science, history, politics. business...
Very well informed members.
