Just when you think, what can
Just when you think, what can "they" tax next, I came across a situation yesterday that made me think twice...
So, here the deal...
I bought a new car, and included in the MSRP, on the window sticker, is a charge for the Federal Gas Guzzler Tax of $1,000. Note that this charge was added and included by the manufacturer, and not the dealer...
This dealer is telling me that the $1,000 tax is included in the (sales)taxable total, as viewed by the State. It seems to me that I'm paying tax on a tax...?? The dealer's explanation is that the gas guzzler tax is taxable since it is included as a line item by the manufacturer on the window sticker.
Anyone else ever run into this scenario?
Regards,
David
