Legally Avoid Out of State Use Taxes
By Jacob Wren


Use tax for out of state sales

In recent years, most states have stepped up their attempts to require out-of-state retailers like EBay store operators and telemarketers to register for the purpose of collecting their use taxes.

The good news about use tax

Unless you have a `physical presence` in a state, you can legally avoid registering for and paying its use tax.

A state`s taxing power extends only as far as it borders. A state cannot force you to pay its taxes unless you do something in its borders. And for all you eBay sellers out there, simply selling merchandise to residents of a state does not qualify as having a `physical presence` in your customer`s state.

Accounting lingo

The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that you must engage in a minimal level of physical activity within a state in order to establish a connection. Making sales in a state, via internet or mail order is not enough activity to establish a connection.

What will make a connection?

You may be required to register for and pay use tax if you:

1. Maintain an office, store, or other business facility in the state.

2. One of your employees (or you) enters the state to take orders, perform services, or otherwise do business on your behalf.

3. Real property that you own or lease is located in the state.

4. Personal property that you own or lease is stored or used in the state on a more than occasional basis.

Basically if you limit your contact to mail, email, and telephone you shouldn`t be required to register for, collect or pay a states use tax.

...onest and say that I had never heard of car gap insurance until recently. I suppose unless you buy a car on finance you might not know about such policies. As I understand it the car gap insurance covers you in the event of a car being stolen and never recovered or one that is deemed a total loss by the insurers. If you still owe money on the car to a finance company then the gap insurance will pay off the difference between what the insurer says the car is worth and what finance you have left on it. Some of the policies will even leave you with some money to use as a deposit on another car. It`s, probably something that many people would never even consider when they take a car out on finance. If the insurance company decides that the car is worth less than you thought it might be when it is deemed a total loss then you could have to stump up the money to pay off the bal...

Gap Insurance - Gap Insurance
...know what gap insurance is? I know that I had never heard about this type of insurance before until it was brought to my attention recently. The gap insurance covers the deprecation on a car in the event of it being stolen and never recovered. How does it work you might wonder and do you need to take it out if you have outstanding finance on the vehicle? Say you have ten thousand pounds worth of car finance on your car but when it gets stolen the insurance company says it`s only worth eight grand. It means you`ll have to find the extra two thousand pounds to pay off the finance company. If you take out gap insurance on the car, this amount will be covered, so you don`t have to find any additional money to pay off the debt. Most people buy cars and decide to keep them for a set amount of time so they know how much fina...
