Ordering from online retailer

[Guest benchpresspower]

Question for you all that have used online retailers for your firearms purchases. Say for example you order from Budsgunshop in KY, have it sent to your FFL, pay the transfer fee and background check, do you still pay TN sales tax or KY sales tax or any sales tax at all????

No, I have bought 10 guns from a dealer in Michigan and had them transferred here you do not pay sales tax, Background and transfer fee only

No.

If you're charged KY tax,that would be taxation w\o representation.

Your FFL will not charge you tax because you are not buying the item from them. They're simply a middle man,not unlike UPS.

I get transfers in all the time from Bud's just to use your example.

I get my $35 transfer/TICS fee. That's it. I do not collect taxes on a FFL transfer.

The way I understand it, Legally you are required to pay TN tax. But Ive never heard of anyone paying it. Also never heard of a FFL collecting it.

Legally, you are required to pay Tennessee sales tax on all internet purchases that are delivered inside the state of Tennessee. There are some FFL's that collect the Tennessee sales tax, though. I know of at least 3 FFLs in the Nashville area that collect sales tax on every transfer. There is a debate whether the FFL is required to do so, but some of them simply chose not to take a chance on it. You need to check with the FFL before you have a gun shipped.
