First if you are in a state that has one or both you pay at the point of sale, no matter where you live. Ever been on a vacation and had a motel not charge you a room tax, even though you are not from that state. OK, B&H they're great and have been doing business with them for 15 or more years. In that time I have NEVER been inside their store to buy a widget. They don't charge sales tax, NY or NM as they are shipping out of NY and they do not have an outlet in NM. Next, when I purchase a new Rolex for my collection, I travel 45 minutes to Texas. I make the purchase, fill in a little tax form and the dealer mails the watch to me in my state. I pay no tax, only the price of registered mail. If you ever order from Eddie Bauer or J Crew, they will in many instances hit you with the sales tax of your state, because they have a retail store somewhere in your state. It's basically that simple. From the office.
