The question "Whats the Sales tax on something you did not buy."
has been Answered!
I know the Answer!
Back when I lived in Massachusetts my father gave me an old Sears Best Aluminum boat that he had had for 30 years . He gave it to me for free just to get it out from under his porch.
So I cleaned it up and put on a little outboard motor that I also had recieved for Free from one of my Dads friends because the motor was a 1948 and had not run in 30 years.
So I went to go register my new toy. and the Lady at Mass Fish & Game told me that I had to pay the Sales Tax.
I told here that I got this wonderful little yacht for "FREE" she told me I could not register it unless I paid the tax or showed and old registration.
Ah HA! My dad had an old New Hampshire licence plate screwed to the boat. So I brought the licence plate back to the Lady at Fish & Game who told me that it was no good and I would need the papers.
Huh? I have no papers I told her. So she said I would have to pay the Tax
So I asked her how much was the Tax and she told me 5%. I asked her 5% of what and she told me its 5% of what I paid for the boat.
I told her I got the boat for free and she said I still needed to pay the Tax and to come back when I had a Bill of Sale.
So I went to my DAD and gave him a Dollar and he gave me a Bill of Sale. So Now I know that the Tax is 5 Cents so I walk in to pay the lady at Fish& Game and she tells me she will not can not tacke CASH.
I told her that my Nickle was US Currency and that it was good for All Debits Legal and Tender.
She Said that Governar Dukakakis made a law that Fish & Game is not allowed to handle CASH.
So I told her I would give her a check. No they dont take checks, Credit Card? No they dont take Credit Cards. So I ask just how do I pay my 5 cents tax and she tells me US Postal Money order.
So I walk to the US Post Office and pay $0.85 for a US Postal Money order in the amount of 5 Cents. The Postal people think Im crazy, funny like how?) and then I go back and pay my Sales tax on the boat I got for free.
Next year I went to NH and just registered the boat.
