Cocksuckers. My wife gets a lot of Amazon deliveries. This will cause prices to rise more than 0.25 because of reporting and collection. With more and more retailers going online this will be a huge moneymaker for NYS. Amazon delivers stuff stupid and it will all come in 5 separate packages.
My friend just told me he saw that the NYS budget will cause a rise of a 5% tax on each individual. I’ve got to get out of here soon.
There’s a federal job coming up I may apply for. I don’t want to but it would give me flexibility to leave if I wanted at some point sooner than my state job would.

Actually not stupid. I believe that is because they ship from different distribution centers.

 

[MuttCat]

Consider the disproportionate impact on the rural population.

 

[JRtraderny]

This is double taxation as we already pay sales tax on shipping.

 

[kev74]

Imagine how much they could rake in with a tax on one way U-Haul rentals!

 

[Defilade]

Government stealing more money from the taxpayers!

Dont forget this one - New York lawmakers eye streaming tax, delivery fee

We cut the cord years ago and have like 4 different streaming services. More fucking taxes on us.

I think I speak for most here when I say I gotta get the hell out of here ..

I'm sorry it's fee not a tax comrade. In re-education camp you'll learn the difference.

 

[C3D]

It's $0.25 today. It will be raised shortly to become $5.00 per delivery.

 

[Saltwater60]

I’m sure that is what it means. By stupid I mean it has to cost them a ton of money to do so to get products to you quicker. There are days we will get two trucks with 4-5 packages. This all adds significant cost to get my package to me quicker than I need it a lot of times.

 

[Saltwater60]

Where do we pay tax on shipping? If it’s $10 to ship your taxes on your goods not the shipping. I’m sure there are fees assessed but it’s not sales tax.

 

[Saltwater60]

When people complain about this I’m going to ask them if they voted democrat and if they say yes my response is going to be good then you can pay my tax increase to because I didn’t vote for them. I don’t care if I lose friends over this or if it pisses people off. My wife will be mad at me. She was already mad at me because there is a paint drop off near me at an intermodal site and I said where is that? I looked at the article and it’s a bathroom and park so I said that’s not intermodal and she said yes it is. I said here’s the definition of intermodal and she was mad I looked it up. I said it’s wrong and she told me I was a cranky old man. Why describe a bike path, bathroom, and walking park as an intermodal site?

 

[Hochulsucks1234]

And all these new taxes are to pay for the piece of shit MTA in NYC. I won't step foot in NYC ever again, so why am I responsible for that cesspool? Our local town roads are shot, 2 bridges out in a 10mi radius, infrastructure shot to shit. I would almost understand if the money went for that. Instead the upstate counties are forced to spend more on Medicaid and keep raising taxes. Medicaid is like 75% of the budget for these counties. It is sickening.

"According to the proposal, the collected fees would be spent on transit systems within the state."

Is this like the 5 cent tax on gas that has been done 3 times since the 80's and was "supposed" to be directed to bridge and road repairs?
Just another un fenced slush fund. (State has "fenced" funds which are strickly kept in that area like utilities,pay etc. Unfenced can be moved anywhere in the budget)

I do not think anyone is doing this. I have never noticed tax on shipping. I pay tax on most goods bought, but not all then shipping gets calculated after that but it just adds the shipping cost. Maybe the tax is already applied but it doesn’t seem to be that from what I have noticed. Thanks for the information on this since I never knew that.

So I went back and checked on a few online orders I had that had shipping charges on them and they do in fact have sales tax added on the shipping.

You generally don't notice it because its usually a small amount, but online retailers are supposed to charge tax on the TOTAL bill. So a $100 + $10 shipping, they're supposed to tax the $110, not the $100.

 

[VietnamEraVet]

Their asshole moves remind me of an old military saying:

If it stands still, paint it; if it moves, salute it; if it speaks, call it sir.

I suspect NY's version is: If it is ANYTHING, put a tax or fee on it.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Ah, the sweet smell of corruption in March.

 

[Cavalry]

NY really needs to up their game. I see so many untapped ways to extort its residents that much more. A couple cents here a couple there, no one will ever notice or complain. Taxed item with a fee on top? Hogwash lets add a surcharge! People that are on welfare are depending on your money!

 

[GOPerfect]

This is great.

This is another one that I hope passes.

I hope the Democrats can find more ways to screw the people.

 

[STS556]

Is anyone really surprised? How else is Hochul going to pay for those 800,000 low income housing units. So come on people, get to ordering, 800,000 people are depending on you to pay for their housing.

Sarcasm?

 

[GOPerfect]

Sarcasm?

No. Well maybe a little.

I am hoping the more they fuck with the citizens, the more will wake up and vote these assholes out of office, or move out of state and sink the state.

I have to say for the most part I avoid places that charge shipping. I normally go for the spend $59.00 or $99 and get free shipping. I did pay shipping from Wilson combat so I’ll have to look at that.
Don’t know but one this is for sure is NYS fucking sucks.

Mostly the places I see it are out of state sellers of reloading supplies a lot of them are small and charge freight. Amazon with free shipping you wouldn't see it but I'm sure it's buried in the cost somewhere.

Amazon will just up their "Prime" membership. Simple as that. Heck, they could even do it just for NYS residents to cover it OR they can just add it to the "taxes" at the end.

As a business owner, this will add more work for me too.
