Re: [Leica] Was Found a pre-owned MP already Now Tax stuff

["Marshall Hunt" <huntmc2@fuse.net>]

In other words, IT DEPENDS ON THE STATE. Ohio imposes a "use tax" on any
article of personal property which is used in the State of Ohio.  I have to
pay 6% on anything I buy, whether or not it was bought in Ohio.  I can take
a deduction for any sales tax I pay to any place, so in theory, if I buy a
camera in Kentucky and pay 5% sales tax, I still owe 1% to Ohio. If I buy
from Kit, I have to report the full 6% on my income tax return, since Kit
doesn't charge me the tax. I report the use tax owed on Line 16 of my annual
Ohio Income Tax return.    Kentucky has a separate schedule for use tax
calculations.  Michigan has a use tax as well.  Dante is a lawyer, and he
can damned well look it up.
