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.

If you order merchandise from a company on the internet with retail stores
in your State you definitely will pay sales tax.......period.

I understand that.

I don't buy from stores that have a physical presence in my state.

I think in MA you are supposed to diligently remit to the state a 5 per cent
tax on items purchased via the Internet where a sales tax is otherwise not
collected.

I don't know of anyone who pays it though.
