    Midsouth Shooters Supply is now adding PA sales tax to orders

    Midsouth Shooters Supply in Tenn is now adding 6% PA state sales tax to all orders sent to PA !
    They had a option to collect it or decline collecting it , they chose to collect it !
    I'm sure other states are soon to follow

    Well, if you think about it, someone in PA gave them an incentive.
    Nobody works for free and the government wants it's money.

    That look on your face, when you shift into 6th gear, but it's not there.

    Probably an incentive like "Nice little company you got there. Would be a shame to lock you up in court for 10 years......"

    PA is a piece of dung state. I grew up there and it has always been Democrat, that is except for the last election. You can get a hint about how bad a state is by the number of counties it has. The higher the number the worse the state is towards the people. Lots of taxes, high taxes, over regulated, etc.. Maybe we should give Mid South another incentive..BOYCOTT them!

    So what if there was no internet? What would the states do then, charge us a tax for no reason?

    If there was no internet then you would have to buy from local stores and the State would get their money. If you have been buying off the internet and not paying State sales taxes you have probably been breaking State laws. Don't brag about it and don't whine about it. States that think there is enough money involved will go after it. Eventually all States with sales taxes will go after the money.

    Sounds like many of you are sheep and easily let to slaughter. PA should have gone after Midwayusa as they do far more business then Midsouth.

    Taxes were created by evil greedy men! I remember living there if you sold your use car the buyer had to pay a tax when it's registered. How many times should a tax be paid on the same item???? PA is a greedy liberal Democrat state. For a while people got around the tax on selling a used car by telling the office they sold it for a ridiculous low price. The state caught on to that and then required that the sell had to go by Blue Book values. They'll do anything to screw you out of your money.

    So what you PA gun parts and reloading, and reloading equipment buyers should do is have a friend in another state that isn't taxed my Midsouth buy the item for you and then when we he gets the tracking number get on it and change the address from his residence to yours.

    Washington state now charges a service fee on the seller to file the title release form and has been charging [there value rate] taxes on the sale for years.

    sales tax Is now a fact of Life. You can complain all You want but there here to stay. I love the people who talk and say there not paying.
    Call your state tax dept. and tell them you are refusing to pay the sales Tax. i sure they will get in Touch or maybe pay you a visit.
    Move to a state that does not have sales tax.

    I like it because it saves me the trouble of tracking all the things I buy off the internet when I do my taxes.

    No big deal. If I can't find something locally I'll buy it from whoever is cheapest, taxed or otherwise.
    Calling for a boycott over this is just eating our own.

    Mostly all states have a clause in there code basically saying if a Buyer refuses to pay sales tax. The seller If he is able to get a name and address of the buyer ( gun show sales) . can send the name of the buyer to the tax dept. for review and they will be in touch with them .
    sounds good to me

    No one likes taxes including me but sales tax is probably the most fair of them all.

    With the closing of so many brick and mortar stores due to internet sales the Mafia, er, government wants in on the action. Didn't mean to insult the Mafia as they have more honor than the government.
