RE: Strange Tax Laws...
By the way CI, under VT tax law, you as a Vermonter are obliged to pay Vermont sales tax on any products purchased outside of Vermont and shipped in. Just because the company; mail order or other doesn't charge you this amount, does not mean you don't have to pay. There are companies that will charge your sales tax automatically depending on where you live.
If people living in Hartford, cross the border and buy some stuff in West Leb, NH and come back; they were not charged sales tax; but legally they are required to pay the VT sales tax on items brought back into the state.
Again, my understanding is that is not the case here in Canada and that the tax you pay is based on where you are buying the products from and there is no other obligation.
Cheers (again),
