Real ID

[kemasa]

Am I incorrect in thinking transfer fees are labor and therefor not taxable?

You are incorrect. If the firearm is subject to sales tax, then the transfer fee is too. Read the BOE letters. I don't have easy access to them right now, but it should be in the sales tax FAQ.

PPTs can be subject to sales tax if the FFL gets involved in the price or finds the buyer or seller.

The REAL ID thing is different though, becuase Turners for instance is still taking them as long as they are POST 2017 because they have the lawyers to stand and say "show me the law". But the little shops cant take on the DOJ like that.

Turners is no longer taking federal limits apply ID either. I too screwed up with mail in renewal and now need to go fix the garbage.

In other words they had a chat with the CA DOJ.

I just talked to a manager at Turners, and he said they still accept 2018+ Fed Limits Ids...

Maybe not all of them got the message.

Well, other than the DOJ saying "LOOK AT OUR LAST BULLETIN", nothing in the law says you cant take it.

You need proof of AGE and IDENTITY, The reason we could not take FED LIM APPLY IDs in 2017 because we KNEW these were issued to aliens who were not eligible to buy a firearm. You cant knowingly attempt to sell a firearm to someone you know isn't eligible. The ATF and DOJ both put out bulletins letting us know this.

The ATF since rescinded the letter because they understand that the new IDs don't imply you cant buy a gun. The DOJ is just dragging its feet about taking back the bulletin for some reason, but the information they put out no longer holds water. So other than thier OPINION, there doesn't seem to be anything illegal about it. So I can see how turners with the volume they have and the money they risk loosing turning away customers would out way the risk of a legal battle with the DOJ.

Yep, but ignoring the DOJ doesn't tend to end well, even if you are proven right in the end.

Just had a customer go to the DMV Tuesday, and get his REAL ID Monday. 6 days from walk in, to ID card delivered.
