So I remember reading about that South Dakota case ruling, then some states started charing and some are not. I read on another forum Jan 1 was a date all had to be in compliance. I know someone here knows the skinny on this.....is it coming Jan 1? Thanks
Online ammo sales tax
- Thread starter atepointer
- Start date
Ok I get sales tax on everything on Amazon in FL, but not currently charged sales tax on ammo in FL. So it's only for certain things?
Do you pay sales tax when purchasing ammo at a brick and mortar store while in FL? If so, the sales tax from on-line ammo purchases is prob not far behind.
If things go bad in 2020, I expect three ammo-related developments:
1) tax on ammo will increase by orders of magnitude
2) everyone will become a reloader
3) raw material shortages (primers, powder, etc) will resemble the gas shortages during the oil embargoes of the 70s or worse
buy ammo and lots of it (if you aren’t already doing so)
buy lots of reloading materials tooling and supplies (if you aren’t already doing so)

Most all sites are collecting tax on Texas residents now. Its fucked up. Income tax, sales tax, property tax, gasoline tax, tobacco tax, inheritance tax, medicaid, medicare, social security, etc. Add all that up and see what’s left. Government is overstepping bigtime.
The case you're referring to is South Dakota vs. Wayfair (Wayfair). It impacts remote sellers, i.e. an entity that does not have property or employees or contractors in a state to which they make sales.
Before Wayfair an entity needed to have a physical presence, property or people, in a state before they had to collect tax on sales shipped to a state.
The Wayfair decision permits states to force entities to collect tax if they have "economic nexus" in that state. Basically, if they make $X.xx or y# of sales into a state they have an obligation to collect and remit tax on sales to that state, even if they have no physical presence in that state.

i read Texas just voted to eliminate sales tax? if true, movement to Texas is going to quadruple in the following months
Ha, highly doubt it. TX doesn't have an individual income tax. There's no way they would give up the revenue from sales and use tax. Wish it were true though. Can you point me to where you read this?
Texas just voted to make it illegal to ever have a state income tax.
I sold a high ticket item on ebay the day they started imposing mandatory Texas sales tax. No way out of it- or it gets added to your ebay fees if you try and discount it. The buyer didnt pay me over an extra $250 in tax! Wasnt a deal any more. I actually didnt blame him.
@Srgt. Hulka got it right. Texas voted to make a Texas state constitutional amendment to never impose a state income tax, but collect online sales tax by gunpoint I guess.
Ok great thank you for that detailed explanation. Well, according to the law it should have already been in effect for the 2 online suppliers I use by a long shot so not sure why it hasn't kicked in yet.The case you're referring to is South Dakota vs. Wayfair (Wayfair).

Well as of yet that isn't happening with my favs actually the order I just placed was on par with lowest ever so I'm happy for now......start egg timer.
Not long before reloading equipment/supplies will be in the same category as bombing making. Automatic felony.
Doubtful. Say a ammo distributer is based in florida. A guy buys ammo based in texas. And a guy buys ammo based in Oregon. The distributer isnt going to eat that extra cost to ship it to Oregon as the same price the guy from Texas bought it for.
Yea, true...it’s only a matter of time until we are all felons...of course, our definition and understanding of the word would take on a whole new meaning relative to what it means to us today.
As always, buy/make ammo
As always, buy/make ammo
Lets not forget death tax! And rest assured, theyre using every penny of those taxes collected, to work against the people.
So when do we say enough is enough? When do we break free the shackles of bondage we've allowed "public servants" to weld around our necks?
Let's call this situation we're in by its proper name. Slavery. If you earn a decent living, own a house, you likely spend more than half your time working to pay taxes. Half your effort goes to benefit someone else.
It's time to take the blinders off and reclaim our lives, reclaim our freedom.
We are just tax slaves. And we must be kept in line. Tax slave gets the book thrown at them. Criminals at the top and bottom are left alone or get a slap on the wrist
Interesting what I'm finding some businesses are charging sales tax and some are not with FL shipping address. My usual guys are definitely not building it into the sales price or shipping actually these are the lowest prices I've ever pulled 9mm or 7.62x39. Loading up. Brownells is strong!
