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.

That why John Kerry tried to hide his yacht in Newport!  It has been a huge
shot in the arm to the marine trades.

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?

Thanks for the the replies all. 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

The no tax is because we're stinking rich with oil revenue!

Is there sailing water in Alberta? That might account for no tax. :)

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.

You owe the tax, even if they got you 4 years after you bought the boat, if
you can't prove that you paid tax they got you, I have a friend who was
asked last year by the NS gov't to prove that he paid the tax on his boat
that he bought 14 years ago...save your receipts
