Many (most?) states have not just a "sales tax", but a "sales and use" tax, under which, if you make an out-of-state purchase of goods to be used in the state, YOU are responsible for calculating the amount of the tax and sending it in. For example, for cars in particular, the state DMV often serves as a collection agency for cars purchased out of state and then "imported". CA and SC (and I am pretty sure PA too) have such laws, so they are not uncommon. FROM: Brian G. Gordon, CAE Systems Division of Tektronix, Inc.
