Just trying to figure something out: Live in OK, have tax exempt# from OK for many years. In the past, I ordered by mail tractor parts from a dealer in TX. Yesterday, on my way to LA, I stopped by in person at their place to buy heavy parts and to save the shipping cost. I was informed (with many apologies) that they had checked with other dealers (across colors)in the area and that since Jan 1, 2012, They too have to charge all taxes if one picks up and pays in person (OK ag excemtion not recognized)except on feed and not order by phone and ship it(any carrier) . Then, they WILL honor out-of-state tax excempt and not charge tax ....uhhhhh???
Went along with it, but an additional almost 50 bucks out of my pocket in March of a tax year is hurting a little (till filing taxes next year..)Also, I have bought chains, boomers, tools since Jan 1, 2012 at H.F. Tools in Wichita Falls, TX for farm use with OK exemption and they did not charge me taxes....
Any thoughts and wisdom is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Ralph in OK.
