OT: Pa Use Tax

The State is clamping down on purchases made out of state using 800 ;phone numbers and the inter-net. We are to pay the PA Sales Tax on any items purchased where-in no sales taxes were collected at the same rate of 6% PA Sales Tax.

I just finished reviewing all of my receipt for the last 3 yrs.

Actually payment of PA sales tax is to be made within 20 days from purchases.

New Jersey also has cheaper GAS than NY,PA,Del. Why? because they don't allow self service! and that means the big oil companies have competition from the MOM& POPs.

JMHO

For awhile in the 70's, the PA and NJ State police would stop cars at random and check if purchases were made in Delware. They would give you a slip of paper to claim your purchases in Delaware and send the sales taxes to your home state, within 10 days. Especially this time of year when WE all bought our big ticket items in Delaware.

Am not sure is they still do this practice. But recently I was in Delaware on business and noticed all those PA, NJ, MD cars in the park'n lots. Thanks. John,PA

OH YEA...I got stopped once in PA for having too many cigarettes in the car with the DELAWARE stamp on them. Trooper just gave ma a warn'N.

Sooner or later we gonna have to git a grip on that!!

Hence the right to own and bear arms.

Fer that very reason.

But they are doing away with that one day at a time.

Credit Card Purchases are checked on, obviously.

But I lived in Glenside PA with the Pagans Motorcycle Club fer 2 weeks when I was 15 years old.

Some good folks there!!

IMO PA is ludicrous on some of it's laws.

This past summer, I buried a sister-in-law. The undertaker had to notify the State and Feds about her passing, thru her SS number.

Within 5 days, I helped my aged brother finish her "Paperwork".

Basically, if the State paid any monies for her financial survival..food stamps..medicaid, etc. The STate will send my brother their "bill" for the PA Dept of RECLAMATION. Thus, if she left any kind of "ESTATE", the STATE could force my brother to sell his property to pay the STATE's bill. As if was, she had NO estate.

The STATE only has 45 days to notify of any claims against her estate.

Moral to the story: Never trust those give-away programs as advertised on TV. Could eventually catch up to ya.

Thanks for list'N John,PA
