California NEXUS tax law effective April 1, 2019

[mspeed76]

as far as I understand, if I shipped a watch to CT ( which started their own nexus law dec 2018) before April 1st, then the retailer would not be obligated to collect tax from me.

(the retailer has a presence in CA but not CT)

After April 1st, any thoughts?

saves you from doing the paperwork yourself... which of course you are required to do now

you could however domicile yourself in montana.

I like the law. Retailers know you are engaged in tax evasion when you walk in and buy something like a Rolex and have it shipped. Kind of like how a bar is liable for serving a visibly drunk customer. If they do it, they can be held accountable so its the same thing for a retailer to go ahead and take the payment to prevent you from breaking the law.

I agree 1000% that everyone that buys should report it in their return, as is the law.

But I lived in Illinois and my AD was in Indiana. He knew where I lived and that I was traveling for work. He sent the watch to my house so I didn’t have to travel with it and therefore did not charge me local sales tax. I reported the purchase on the appropriate form on my return.

If the story is plausible then I don’t blame the dealer for not collecting the tax. But if there is a law that requires this by all means they should collect the tax.
