Try ordering some boat stuff on line. Many suppliers will charge you
your local sales tax as part of the transaction.


I buy a lot online and haven't paid state or local tax yet.


Ever.


As long as your not buying from a store with a presence in your state
you'll
never pay any sales tax, it's illegal.



Somebody better tell Amazon.com. They don't operate a single retail
store anywhere, yet there are four states that require Amazon to
collect sales tax on shipments.

Maybe you should try reading the "details"

The only states Amazon charges sales tax are for the states in which they
have a presence (KS, KY, ND and WA) .
They are registered with each of those states as Amazon.com LLC.
