[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 554706, member: 52972"] TJR, A state taxing authority can only tax things legally! If the State constitution allows, they can levy a State, County or even city Sales Tax on merchandize or services that were sold by merchants in that state. They can even levy Use taxes for you to drive your vehicle down the street, but they are confined to taxing within their own juristiction. There is no authority to collect Sales Taxes from merchandise or services purchased from merchants outside their state. The wording on the California State tax form states that it's a "California Use tax for purchases made from out-of-state sellers" That would mean it applies only to purchases from states other than California and is attempting to collect a tax on mechandise purchased and imported to California. You can call it a Use tax or a Sales tax, but it sounds like a California Import Tax, and the Federal governement states that it is illegal to place taxes or tariffs on goods imported from other states. As I previously stated, the California tax and states with similar taxes cannot enforce these laws, cannot verify who is or is not paying, and can only hope for voluntary compliance. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
