To support your LGS struggling to survive in this state.Why participate in the scraps the the socialists throw to us in in MA when every day is a sales tax holiday in NH? In addition there will be hordes pushing and shoving to get the sales tax discount in MA making it a hassle compared to NH.
Just made my purchase yesterday...To support your LGS struggling to survive in this state.
I don't see how that'll help anything. It won't change the government and it punishes your fellow Mass inmates.If Massachusetts residents were smaht, they'd boycott this precious gift from their overlords and tell them to shove it that day. Then drive to NH and buy their shit.
But they won't.
Whatchya get?Just made my purchase yesterday...
Happy to pick up next week...
When three guys in masks rob a bank do you ask them why they get a cut of the bank's money? No, you just give them the finger and move on.I would buy a used car. That way, this piece-of-shit state can't rob you of a 6.25% tax on the KBB value of the car. Why the hell do they get a cut? The government had ZERO part in the transaction!
Some places (MFS) let you order online, others let you order this week and pick up next week, no need to be available on the weekend.I'll be at work....if only it was income tax free weekend
Any item over $2500 is exempt from any tax waiver!!!I would buy a used car. That way, this piece-of-shit state can't rob you of a 6.25% tax on the KBB value of the car. Why the hell do they get a cut? The government had ZERO part in the transaction!
Good point.Some places (MFS) let you order online, others let you order this week and pick up next week, no need to be available on the weekend.
Ah, well, you have to feed the beast.Good point.
But "tax free" should mean all taxes are not implemented that weekend. Income, sales, breathing, eating, whatever other taxes are out there. But I digress.
FIFYAh, well, you have to starve the beast.
An inmate uprising could work if all of the inmates were in on it. Unfortunately, the vast majority of inmates are happy accepting their weekend crumbs from Bacon Hill.I don't see how that'll help anything. It won't change the government and it punishes your fellow Mass inmates.
I give my accountant a ledger detailing exactly what and where I spent and whether it was business or personal (receipts scanned and attached). I would assume he calculates owed use tax on anything I bought in another state and includes it in the tax return. I wouldn't know. I just sign where he points.... OH BTW if you buy stuff in NH and bring it back to MA you are supposed to pay 6.25% use tax on it, remitted on your MA state tax return
Thus is really a ploy by the state to lure shoppers from RI, CT, NY & VT to Mass for the weekend, Mass gets their cut through the business taxes levied on the retailers increased revenue.Why participate in the scraps the the socialists throw to us in in MA when every day is a sales tax holiday in NH? In addition there will be hordes pushing and shoving to get the sales tax discount in MA making it a hassle compared to NH.
I hear ya', that's one reason I moved here.Every weekend is tax free in NH!
150 miles for me.....Im more than happy to make a healthy cash withdrawal from the bank and watch my odometer click 186k miles as I cross state lines this weekend.
I just tell them I don't actually 'use' any of the stuff I buy out of state...totally legit.OH BTW if you buy stuff in NH and bring it back to MA you are supposed to pay 6.25% use tax on it, remitted on your MA state tax return
