polizonte Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 The last time I bought a kayak this spring at The Kittery Trading Post, I showed my NH driver's license, signed a State form, and did not have to pay the 5.5% sales tax on the kayak. Last night LL Bean in Freeport was the only store where I could find a Pungo 140, I was taxed $49.45 . I called the store when I got home. No deal, if one buys in Maine, the tax must be charged. Has this law changed? Es mejor pescar que ser pescado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roccus7 Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 Maine watercraft excise tax on powered boats less than 13 feet is like $6 per year on watercraft used in state waters, so you were charged sales tax which yes, is charged on any purchase you take possession of in Maine. Had you shipped it to your home, you wouldn't have paid. Intrigued as to how KTP finagled that one. If you picked it up there, they were doing it wrong to your advantage.

tyme2par4 Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 KTP has a trick to get around NH customers having to pay sales tax. They have a small office space just over the border in Portsmouth. If you prove you are from NH, they count the sale as being in their NH location. I bought a shotgun there a couple years ago. With firearms, they actually make you drive to their office location, sign the final papers and pick up the gun there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titleguy Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 Yes- no more sales tax exemptions as of July 1 for out of state. Done mostly to capture sales tax from on line sales I would ******* LOVE a grave blanket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
