A friend of mine recently bought a rifle from CDNN of Texas and had it sent to a local dealer for the transfer (Bullet Hole in Belleville, NJ). When he picked up the rifle the dealer charged him sales tax as well as the transfer fee. The total bill was around $200 (not sure how much was tax and how much was the transfer fee). So my question is, is it common for NJ dealers to charge sales tax on rifles they did not sell, but only did the transfer for? |
| Ahh....This again....As I understand it, your buddy should not have paid the sales tax to the transfer FFL, as he did not buy it from him. He is supposed to declare it on his taxes at the end of the year and pay the taxes himself. This seems to be popping up more and more. The only service that the FFL is entitled to collect sales tax on is the transfer itself. |

Doesn't really surprise me considering where he got it transfered 
From now on tell him to have his transfers done at Caso's Gun-A-Rama in Jersey City. Frank is a great guy to deal with. |

Frank is a great guy to deal with. although a bit expensive. theres an ACE hardware store in some fucking town up north that charges a lot less. but regardless, avoid the butt hole at all costs!!!! (if you want a real good experience take a trip down to millstone twp, nj, where Vinny can give you the best xfer experience. lots of guys here can vouch for him. |

For New Jersey sales of firearms:
1. Transfer Fees are taxable. See Sales and Use Tax Overview. 2. Shipping charges are exempt. 3. NICS charges are taxable.
