Received a Bill for State Tax on An Amp Bought in Canada Last Year


Wow! The envelope said “Dept of Revenue” so I figured it may be my car tags due. I opened the envelope to find a statement that I owed $665 for “use tax” on an amp I bought last year in June.  Shocked is an understatement. Yes, I bought a used amp from a guy in Canada through A’gon. But I paid the tariff on it. Now they also want tax.  However, the amount they are basing it on is over double what I paid for the amp. But had to send it to Don Sachs for repair a few months later. So I wonder if they are seeing that as a separate purchase rather than a repair. They even charged me $43 interest which is more ridiculous IMO.
So the question...Are you required  to pay tax on a used amp or other used  items? Has anyone else encountered this? Yes, I know the states are cracking down on the sales tax. But on used items? Wow

Hey pauly, did you read what I wrote after you deleted my apology, just 5 posts up? Or you that fired up that you got your post deleted thinking you’ve framed a narrative to make me look bad that you didn't even bother to take a look?

Just getting that notice that a post of yours was removed triggered you that much?

This time, I can say with confidence, that you should have read it before posting so this time, you wouldn’t look like the one with egg on your face. Nothing like having you plan backfire so bigly, eh?

Oh, and by the way, if you want to be left alone, don’t start the problem or even try to frame someone without thinking it through.

All the best,

"As for my take, establish a living wage ..."
How much would that be, who would decide the amount, and how would it be distributed?
" Pay some form of child support/assistance to working families ..."
Would the funds come from families that don't work? 

" As for "printing" money, how come I heard no one bring that up with the last, unfunded, 2 trillion dollar tax giveaway to those that didn't need or warrant it?" 
Most likely because the crowd you hang with don't have a clue about the money issue and never discuss it.
" Look under your beds, everyone! The commies are-a-comin'!"
No need to look under the bed. They are in plain sight screaming about "Equity," "BLM," "Defund the police," and "critical race theory."

No more discussions about Politics. Stay on topic please.

Up until Reagan destroyed the middle class, wages always tracked with productivity. If they were to wave a magic wand, then everyone would see about a 30% increase in their wages, but that will never happen, dontcha know? Again, why should taxpayers pick up the tab for what employers refuse to pay, thus subsidizing the employers?
Would the funds come from families that don't work?
No, ya big silly. They'd come from the uber wealthy who've been benefitting from their decades long plan of redistribution, which has created quite the aristocracy (something our founding fathers were dead set against).
Most likely because the crowd you hang with don't have a clue about the money issue and never discuss it.
This, coming from a gold bug? You're funny.

Why do you see equity as a problem? Why do pundits on FOX and in the GOP call for defunding our military, actually oppose bills to support the cops, call our military leaders "pigs" and "stupid" and you let them get away with it? Right wingers beat and killed cops for crying out loud. Where's your outrage, Frank.

Is it because you don't watch any real news?

Apologies to Admin for the last post above, as I was responding to Frank and missed it. 
Won't do it again.
