Gunbroker taking taxes automatically.

I didn't know we weren't even the first few states to be on the list.

because you are not. the ones in red i have been the only ones i get taxes pulled out of so far.

That is why I have stopped using gunbroker. They collect tax on transactions that are not taxable.

What makes gun purchases sales tax exempt?

I thought Cal made it so that taxes are taken out for all online purchases, regardless if in or out of Cal?

[tabascoz28]

I guess for CA a gun purchase through an FFL, which is all, is always checked and/or taxed by the FFL. This would get gun parts now, just like Ebay and Amazon. I wonder if Gunsamerica or Armslist are doing the same.

Your statement would make Spock explode.

If they collect tax on transactions, then clearly those transactions ARE taxable. Or else they wouldn't be able to, in fact, collect tax on them.

no. they are collecting taxes on my shipping fees. it's all crazy how they are doing it and i don;t have the time to look up states laws to see if it is wrong or not.

[Spyder]

Doesn't matter if it is wrong or right or legal or illegal. The fact that it is happening is proof enough that it can happen.

It's here to stay. It's all because of S.D vs Wayfair.

https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf/17-494_j4el.pdf

On June 21, 2018, The United States Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in South Dakota v. Wayfair that states can mandate that businesses without a physical presence in a state with more than 200 transactions or $100,000 in-state sales collect and remit sales taxes on transactions in the state. This decision overturned the Court’s 1992 decision in Quill v. North Dakota and 1967 decision in National Bellas Hess. Since the decision was handed down by the Court, states and retailers alike have been asking “What’s next?”

What's that crap? I'm not a business, and I haven't done 200 transactions, but gunbroker still collects tax on my sales.

They really are an effed up organization. They're charging me a bunch of fees on stuff I didn't request, and there's nobody to yell at on the phone because it's all online.
