Do gun safes fall under the tax free guidelines?

 

[TDuhe87]

Is this for all stores in LA

Is this for all stores in LA

Anyone who wants to participate. Yes.

Gun safes do fall under the guidelines.

Gun safes do fall under the guidelines.

No, not under the 2nd Amendment Sales Tax Weekend.
I just got off the hook with the Department of Revenue
asking the same question.

Only on the Aug. 1-2 Tax Free Weekend
are Gun Safes allowed to be Tax Free.

Is this for all stores in LA

I don't think a store can deny an item they sale,
that falls within the listed items
to be sold at tax free cost.

Charging tax on that item listed seems like it would be in violation of the law.
Is there an exemption for business

EDIT:

Anyone who wants to participate. Yes.

So you can charge the sales tax of an item listed
on the Free Sales Tax Weekend intended for that item?

I was under the impression from previous employment you could opt not to. Don't know why you would. That's madness.

 

[madwabbit]

It's gun shopping season!!

 

[Hitman]

I was under the impression from previous employment you could opt not to.
Don't know why you would. That's madness.

Maybe you can help us find out for certain?

I know no one here wants to go to a store and pick something out
only to be told that "We're not participating" in the tax weekend.

Not that anyone should get into an argument with them
b/c why buy from someone like that anyway but just for knowledge sake at least.

Would be sort of a bummer ...

I can't think of any possible reason why a retailer would opt out...

 

[Hitman]

Me either, just wondering if it's legal for them to charge sales tax on an item specifically
listed as an item that sales tax shall not be charged on this weekend.

First thoughts of course are Private Property rights etc etc.

But were talking about Taxes here. So when the Government says
you shall not charge taxes on (these items) for (this) weekend.

As a business are you legally capable of saying, no,
I will charge the sales tax?
