In the state of Ohio internet tax is required. The company may not charge it but it is up to you to pay it. Also if a company has a presence in your state the tax will be taken out at the time of purchase. Also to the large extent, the schools are funded by property taxes and taxes received from the lottery.

Nor, I believe, in the rest of the EU. We do not have local sales taxes in the UK but we pay national Value Added Tax of 20% on purchases of all goods (with some exemptions) whether from local businesses or from internet vendors - even on purchases direct from from Elecraft. This is 20% of not only the purchase price but also the shipping costs. 73 to all Geoff G3UCK -----Original Message----- From: KENT TRIMBLE Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2012 8:26 PM Subject: [Elecraft] INTERNET PURCHASING Internet sales are almost universally tax-free ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
