[ARC5] IRS Goes After Ebayers- Hamfest Leverage??

[J Forster]

From: "D C *Mac* Macdonald" <k2gkk at hotmail.com>

  State taxaton folks are also trying to figure out
  how to get USE taxes in lieu of sales taxes!

  Larger hamfests and flea markets will have the
  state tax folks out looking to collect from the
  sellers there, also.


Too late. Been done. At the Boxboro (MA) Flea in connection with the
ARRL convention about 10 to 20 years ago, the State sales tax collectors
showed up. I never spoke with them, but there was a lot of bad feeling
and I don't think they ever came back. If they'd started to hassel me, I
would have dumped everything I had in the nearest trash bin and gone
home.

Yet another government scam to feed it's money addiction. Welcome to
Taxachusetts.
