The tax the buyer pays to their home state after "importing" goods for personal use is called use tax in every state I've lived in. You didn't mention the case where buyer and seller are in different taxing jurisdictions within the same state. I don't know how other states do it, but when you live in county C in California, go to a dealer in county D in California, and buy a car, the dealer is required to charge sales tax at county C's rate, not county D's. Probably the same is true for boats. For smaller items, you pay at the rate of the seller's county, and there's no credit if you take the goods back to your home in a lower-tax county. > When they pay that on their state return, they can claim > credit for the sales tax (if any) already paid for that thing to state B. Maybe. Some states don't allow it, or allow it only up to the home state's tax rate. -- Stan Brown Tehachapi, CA, USA https://BrownMath.com _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
