Sales tax and shipping costs can quickly turn a good buy into a bad buy. Especially if the item is used and tax was paid in the first place. So every time a retailer sells it, tax is collected again. Personal gripe.

UTAH AIRGUNS NOW CHARGING SALES TAX?

Here is the most straight forward explanation of sales tax requirements on interstate sales I could find on the net.

Mr. Squirrel, thanks for sharing the link. Not sure how this was a response to my post, although it does support that UA would likely be required to collect sales tax for my state.
@Trucker3573, what did you find funny about my post? Also, who was welcoming more taxes? I must have overlooked that.

Hmm. I thought it sounded like you welcomed giving more taxes to people that steal or waste a lot of it. Maybe I wasn’t clear or I didn’t understand your post. I’m completely against MORE of hard working people’s money going into the hands of who knows and who knows what they will do with it. Nope I’d rather keep more of my own money.

I not calling for any more taxes. I'm just glad to see some revenue coming to my rural community. I recognize how internet sales have contributed in a meaningful way to the downfall of many such communities as commerce moves outside of them. I buy from local stores when I can but with airguns cannot. If i buy from UA im actually supporting the Utah community at the cost of my own community. So I won't cry when I have to cough up some sales tax.
Could those dollars be better spent? Could fewer dollars be necessary? ...no comment.

One thing I’ve never understood about adding sales tax, if the business is in Alabama and doesn’t bother charging California sales tax, what is California going to do about it? Or any other state?

If a resident of California purchases an item from Alabama and the seller in Alabama does not collect California Sales tax and:
1. California sales tax is required for the item.
2. The item will be used or consumed by the resident of California, in California.
Then the resident of California must file tax form CDTFA-401-E State, Local, And District Consumer Use Tax Return.

I see what you’re saying but am unsure how California or any other state would know about a purchase by a private citizen from an out of state business?

Like my state , go after the individual.
NYS income tax form asks about internet purchases.

Interesting thread...
My $0.02 is that tariffs will be my new TAX. In PA, I have a 6% state sales tax. The increased cost is (maybe) an additional 15% as what I will call a federal sales tax. I realize that the increased price will fluctuate, but it’s a tax which will vary depending on the demand and type of product. I’m not a fan of taxes, but recognize the purpose.
My concern is that the new administration is suggesting creating a new depository for said tariffs. This sounds like a slush fund, not a way to reduce the deficit. I hope I’m not right.
