Quoted from golfingdad1:you probably had to pay sales tax, yes ?
If you live in Ca., no matter where you buy it from, you pay sales tax or use tax. It's the law.

Quoted from golfingdad1:OH, That sucks.
Yes it does! Especially when they come knocking at your door to collect the use tax. It's happened to a few pinsiders already.
Quoted from golfingdad1:California has the resources for that, wow!
Apparently the shippers reported delivering these games from out of state.
Quoted from Rarehero:I always order from Trent at Tilt...he's been great to me, and I'm a loyal customer.
Weren't you one of the guys that got hit for Ca. use tax?
Quoted from TigerLaw:Wow! Since when did the shipping company become obligated to do that (as I am certain that was not voluntary)?
Not sure. But RobT and Rare both mentioned they came to collect and it was the shippers that reported them. Even if they didn't, when you fill out your 540 Ca tax form, you are supposed to report and pay use tax. If an individual purchase from out of state is over $1000, that's when they hit you the hardest.
Quoted from Rarehero:I have people on ignore and can't see the whole conversation.
I don't. But whatever helps keep your blood pressure down...
Quoted from Rarehero:Anyway, this "Use Tax Problem" is specific to California.
It's only a problem if you don't pay your taxes. The use tax worksheet is interesting indeed.
