Buses or Boats

Once had Sprint send me a final bill for 10 cents - I threw it in the garbage - about a month later I got a call from a collection agency (not kidding in the least) - I have a refund check from Francis Thigpin, Tax Collector for Marion County FL, on the wall in my office for .01 dollars - I bet you they spent hundreds of dollars trying to balance the books when I didn't cash it

Just registered my bus in Texas $340.00 a year goes by weight 32,000 lbs. Taxes on my 75ft Chris Craft weren't due until it arrived in Texas, I left it in Puerto Rico!

Back in the seventies, I worked for a manufacturer in California.  They maintained a large warehouse just over the line in Nevada.  Both raw materials and finished goods were quickly moved back and for with a minimum kept in California just to beat the tax man.

  Funny how people down here in Arkansas are about taxes, its one of the biggest topics of discussion. I don't think we were in the house a week when this pickup comes up the drive with these two old boys, they stopped before coming in the yard and the guy asks if I'm going to shoot him. He was the Tax assessor. I am still amazed at peoples rights down here, if you don't want someone on your property, you can run them off. Tax man included.

  I pay $32 to register the Bounder, and a pittance in personal property tax on it, I doubt the whole deal is $50 a year. I do suppose they could hit ya good on something real valuable though. There was some issue a year or so before we moved down, the state was tired of people claiming their $500K RV lived in another state and I guess went around snooping and started gigging folks for back taxes when they proved the rig lived here.

  No wonder those Tax guys ducked, lol.

AR would nail me every time I did a job in that state lol but nothing like CO there they have a tax on all equipment used in the state for work it is terrible in price they base it on the retail price of the equipment when it was new and if you don't buy their tag and play the silly games there you will not get the equipment out when the job is over and it can cost 1000's of dollars for the tags.

The fee is so expensive for the SME tag the rental equipment stores and a fee to the rental bill it sucks


good luck

Thought I would throw this out. In South Carolina once a vehicle reaches 14 years old the tax drops to app. $ 17.50. The county adds $ 25.00 for road maint. I have a personalized tag which adds $ 35.00 for a grand total of $ 77.50 this year. For business it is not so good. My equipment from machines to copiers is taxed every year and dep. can not exceed 85%.
