When I lived in California years ago I also had a sales tax number and paid taxes on sales. It also allowed me to not pay taxes on a lot of things and buy many items at wholesale prices. I did not mind paying my share. Ruth ALL4MORIAH@xxxxxxx wrote: We have had to charge sales tax on puppies for many years now. A sales tax lisc.is free. and we only report the sales we made in the State of South Dakota. They don't go after people with a litter of puppies in the paper unless they see it on a regular basis. Which kind of gripes me because I haven't had a litter of GSD's in over 8 years. Yet these people in the paper probably bred their cocker every 6 months and had 8 puppies that all lived each time and don't pay sales tax on any of them. The only way sales tax is fair is if EVERYONE has to pay it and have bill's of sale for proof of price. The News papers should not run their ad's without a sales tax number.
