NJ tax audit for cigars?

[jfettlol]

Seems NJ wants their money. I can't pinpoint a purchase of that exact price, but I did make one on that exact date. (From UpDown Cigar). Son of a bitch....

Did they ship via UPS?

Oh that's bullshit

Wtf?!!?!

WOW!! Any way they can get money from any of us in our respective states they'll do it!!!

I see that the 30% tobacco tax is added before the 7% sales tax is figured.

You're not just paying taxes on cigars, you're paying taxes on taxes.

I don't recall. The offense date was a year ago.

Sooo should I expect a similar letter?!

 

[jfettlol]

I hope not. I think this is tied to one specific vendor.

Something about it sounds a little fishy - can you contact the shop and see if they know anything about it?

Sounds good fingers crossed lol

I bet if they closed down a special division dedicated strictly to screwing people out of 'tobacco tax' money they would save more money than paying someone to send out all these letters.

I've seen this on another forum. It seems to only happen if you order from Chicago (Which is why I never made a purchase for Jackals from Casa de Montecristo).
You get hit with the city's 30% plus NJ wants their cut.

You shouldn't be paying tax to the city or state that the cigars originated from, since they are being shipped out of state/jurisdiction... I know that PA sends a letter every year, to report groceries, etc that you purchased out of state and did not pay tax on, that were consumed in PA. Odds are someone got caught reselling this in NJ, flipped on their supplier, NJ goes after supplier, Supplier hands over list of shipments to NJ Tax Dept. Sales Tax audits can get weird, really quickly

I thought that vendor was out of Ohio!
