Do not say "they are allowed to charge sales tax." It word should not be "allowed" it should be "required." The merchant is required to pay the sales tax. If they make an error and fail to charge you they are still liable for the tax. If they are later audited and the error is discovered the merchant will have to pay the tax and a fine. On the other hand if they charge the tax incorrectly they have nothing to fear. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
