John Kerry didn't try to hide his $8million sailboat in Rhode Island. He just "forgot" to pay the 8% "Use" Tax in Massachusetts. It was nice that someone in network news took the time to remind him. Or so he said while explaining the big check was in the mail.

It has been a huge shot in the arm to the marine trades. Joel On Thursday, December 5, 2013, Chuck S wrote: Yeah Steve, Your complaint drew a lot of responses. It was fun to learn that Rhode Island has no tax on boats! Amazing. I had to pay 7% state sales tax upon registration here in New Jersey plus an extra $80 to the USCG to change owner and homeport on my documentation. But it doesn't make you feel better to read that, does it?

I'm a little surprised at the tone of some of them. To clarify, I wasn't asking for advice on how to avoid paying. I had just received the letter and more than anything I was looking for some healthy support from my fellow listers. Maybe there's an appeal process that could buy me some time or something. Fine, maybe I was whining, I don't think it's the first time this list has seen a despairing email, boat ownership is full of unhappy surprises. I do think that I live in the best country in the world and I'm happy to pay for the privilege. Unlike so many of my fellow Torontonians, I don't prioritize "lower taxes" over having a capable mayor that _doesn't_ smoke crack. Around here the message lately is that Torontonians will vote in a gerbil as long as it saves them a buck on taxes. But I digress... Thanks for the supportive replies and I'm glad I gave some of you the opportunity to exercise your wagging finger. Getting hit with a "send us a bunch of money or else" letter right before christmas just sucks. I was going to go through that long rum thread and send you all a mickey of your favourite for Christmas but now you're all getting a lump of virtual coal :P Steve Suhana, C&C 32 Toronto On Wed, Dec 4, 2013 at 2:20 AM, <sam.c.sal...@gmail.com> wrote: The no tax is because we're stinking rich with oil revenue! sam :-) From: Rich Knowles Sent: Tuesday, December 03, 2013 10:24 PM To: David Donnelly, cnc-list@cnc-list.com Is there sailing water in Alberta? That might account for no tax. :) Rich On Dec 3, 2013, at 21:05, David Donnelly <da...@gnuattitude.ca> wrote: I think this varies by province and some require certain items such as boats are taxed each time they change hands. BC I know has this same arrangement. Glad I live in Alberta we aren't subject to this kind of tax on boats. Only GST if bought new. If you bought from a broker I don't understand why they aren't responsible to collect and remit this tax.
