I don't think this should be closed. It could turn out to be evidence.

I can just imagine an IRS or State revenue agent, creating a moniker in these boards, getting Matt's name and address, and tracing your name to a wine shop or wine consignment/storage facility in CA, Vegas, or Neverland.

Go drink something out of a box, idiot.

Hall Monitor, I remember the last time you called me an idiot, you got mad that I called you old and lonely, which you so clearly are. Keep hiding behind that dumbshit nickname. That's the only way you would ever have the cajones to call anyone an idiot.

Now go along, Hall Monitor, tell the teacher on me. You will even get a cookie for your fat ass.

Yonni, be nice.

Bill, you're right. I shouldn't have said fat-ass, that was over the line. Dumb-ass is more like it.

me thinks someone might have really quaffed some boxed wine.

would put me in a fowl mood too. We need another peking duck offline!

Hi all,
I just discovered an interesting fact - apparently it's against Federal law for individuals in different states to ship wines to each other unless they are registered dealers. I may have the details incorrect, but basically, if you don't have a license, you can't legally ship wine.

My point is that with all the crap about breaking laws, who here has broken this one?

Something about casting stones, or stoning cast or ...

Cheers

I ship only olive oil and CA fruit extracts.

Not I. I only ship grape juice.

I think the better question is: Who has evaded sales taxes to the magnitude that Matt H may be doing?

The juice on a million bucks if selling out of Cali would be over $90K if I am doing my math correctly.

Kudos to Board-O for his persistence. The amount of energy he had spent on exposing Matt H on these threads is stunning.

Elit Ness would be impressed.

I have no cat in this fight. However, I believe Matt would only be looking at taxes on his profits from all this. Not the total value.
For all anyone knows, he might be selling at a loss and own nothing.
Just trying to keep things in perspective...

I am only talking about sales tax that CA or NV would probably want. Not even addressing the possibility of capital gains taxes the Feds migh seek.

I also have no dog in the fight, but I am a fan of full disclosure.

In most cases, this would be a use tax issue. If we assume Matt has a wine business, and the wine is based in either CA or NV, then he would have no need to collect sales tax unless the wine was shipped in state. Once he ships to someone outside of CA or NV, the receiver would technically be responsible to pay a use tax.

Hypothetically of course, since he's obviously shipping Olive Oil, which is exempt from sales tax in most states.

Each state has its own sales and use tax statutes. What makes you think it's a use tax issue and not sales tax? I think CA charges sales tax whether or not the buyer lives in the state.

Don't you have someplace to be at 5:45?
