NJ dims strike again!

[berdes]

Just got billed from paypal for NJ sales tax (!!) on an item I bought from an individual seller, not a retail seller, thru ebay!
Guess there is no use maintaining a paypal or ebay account any longer.

My accountant asks me every year how much I bought on line and didnt pay taxes on cause the state wants it. No free rides no more. JMO

Noticed the same....in Ohio.
Anybody else?

It's in every or almost every state through Ebay and most other high volume online retailers.

This was what started it:
On June 21, 2018, the United States Supreme Court fundamentally changed the rules for collection of sales tax by Internet-based retailers. In its decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair Inc., the Court effectively stated that individual states can require online sellers to collect state sales tax on their sales. This ruling overturns the Court’s 1992 decision in Quill Corporation v. North Dakota. The Quill case prohibited states from requiring a business to collect sales tax unless the business had a physical presence in the state.
Note the date of implementation. One year ago. Hope you weren't paying unnecessary tax before that.
I think the ruling is flawed because it does not differentiate between a private seller selling their privately owned items and a retail outlet selling items as a business for profit. Not that it will make a dimo think about it, but I've written to our "representatives" explaining my belief. Hope others will too.

Amazon has been doing this for years. More and more retailers as time goes along. Last purchase I made from Garmin had state sales tax.

But from and individual, that is bullsh!t!!!

Government sucks. Anything to separate you from your money.

If you purchase from a out of state business or individual and taxes are levied against you. ITS TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!!!

Received this clarification today. Two persons read it with two different interpretations. Care to take a shot and break the tie?

Marketplace Sellers
A marketplace seller is a seller that makes retail sales through any physical or electronic marketplace owned, operated, or controlled by a marketplace facilitator. A marketplace seller may be a remote seller, or a seller with physical presence in New Jersey. See the Remote Sellers notice for more information.

Marketplace sellers are not required to collect and remit Sales Tax on the sale of tangible personal property, specified digital products, or services delivered into New Jersey when a marketplace facilitator is required to collect and remit Sales Tax on the transaction. https://www.state.nj.us/treasury/tax...sales/tb83.pdf

Definition: N.J.S.A. 54:32B-2(u) defines a casual sale as an isolated or occasional sale of an item of tangible personal property by a person who is not regularly engaged in the business of making sales at retail, where such property was obtained by the person making the sale, through purchase or otherwise, for his/her own use in the State.

If a person is regularly engaged in the sale of personal used items, they should be paying Sales Tax when they purchase items from eBay for their personal use, and eBay would be charging the Sales Tax when they sell through eBay.
