Transfer to a FFL...Get Taxed????

[whitjct]

Hey guys..I have a quick question. If I purchase a handgun from out of state and have it transferred to a FFL in Louisiana, Will my FFL charge me tax on purchase price of the out of state handgun price?? or do they just charge you tax on their FFL transfer fees?? Thanks

Only the transfer fee. No sales tax from out of state purchase.

But you're still going to pay your use tax on your Louisiana income tax return, right?

Tax, Tax , and some more tax. soon you will give your whole check to the government, and they will send you cheese, grape juice, and your government insurance card.

Cheese

WELL I must say I do like the cheese they give me, not often enough though and the grape juice, well is a little to tangy for me but the evaporated milk makes great iced capacchino drinks!

Ask the seller not to put an invoice with price in the box. Have them mail that straight to you if you've never dealt with the ffl before. I have heard of an ffl trying to do that (charge tax) before, though never seen it personally.

I read that Bushmaster is charging tax on all orders now. Guess I'll never have to worry about paying it though.

Better give me red drink and hot wings... I'll mail grape juice and cheese back to them.

This topic seems to have some interest, so I thought I would weigh-in with the law. This is copied from the sales tax manual published by the LA Dept of Revenue.

Exclusions
Certain types of transactions have been excluded from the definitions in R.S. 47:301 making the tax inapplicable to them.
(1) The isolated or occasional sale of tangible personal property (other than motor vehicles subject to license and title) by a person not engaged in such business. [R.S. 47:301(1),
47:301(10)(c), and 47:303(B)(4)]

This law excludes occasional sales from the definition of "sale at retail." The sales tax is applied to "sales at retail." Therefore occasional sales are not a sales taxable event. A firearm transaction between two individuals not in the gun business is a non-event for sales tax purposes. If an FFL attempts to collect tax when he is only facilitating the ownership transfer, he is mistaken. The only time an FFL would collect sales tax is if he purchased the item and resold it to you. But that would not be a "transfer," it would be a "sale at retail."

For the record, this is not tax or legal advice. Consult your personal advisor as necessary.
