Use Tax

I just got a letter from my local taxing body indicating that I owe a Use Tax after purchasing my new vehicle. Since I've never had to pay such a tax before, I am questioning the need to do so. Why should I have to pay for a car that I am NOT using? The car is essentially sitting in the garage while I use my other vehicle. Should I ask them for a tax rebate since my car is not being used? My other car was already purchased and USED prior to moving into this lovely midwestern city. After my property taxes doubled since moving here, I would think they would have the decency to not charge me more. What's next? A tax on income? What is this world coming to!!!

I suggest you write a letter claiming that you purchased the car new and you therefore should not be subject to a use tax. Be careful, however, because they may come back after you trying to collect a new tax.

Personally I'm rather surprised by this turn of events. If anything, I would have thought you would be assessed a useless tax. Go figure.

I think you're post is beginning to tax my patience. I'm numbering the day until you come up with something useful.

I think we should take up the carpet. But of course, before we take up the carpet we must take up the tax.

I think you're a stuffed shirt, or did I mistake you for a taxidermist?

Nathan Kinzel said...

Who are you calling a taxidermist, you cab!

You're the one with the checkered past, you yellow bellied coward.

Nathan Kinzel said...

I don't think you're being fare.

Perhaps you've been taken for a ride.

Farrah, I'd rather Meter for a ride

Stop talking about Farrah. I'm panting.

MrHuge2U said...

Well, not right at this moment; but I will shortly.
