Hello all.
It has come to my attention that the state of Wisconsin is tax exempt when it comes to aircraft parts. I have a second address in Wisconsin and would like to start sending parts orders from Vans (not kits or engines) to said address.
Upon contacting Vans to confirm that I will not be getting charged sales tax, their accounting department tells me that they do collect sales tax for Wisconsin orders because their web store currently does not have the ability to differentiate. Is it just me or does that not sound like an acceptable answer and I question where the tax money collected goes?
This adds up to thousands of dollars over the course of an RV10 build. Has anyone else in a tax exempt state ever run into this issue? And how did you resolve it?
