bry@n 195 Posted June 29, 2013 He payed tax on the gun. The shop owner asked him how much he payed for the gun online and then charged him "sales tax" on that price. This was on top on the $25 transfer fee and $15 for nics. I have a strong feeling that the neither the IRS nor the NJ Division of Taxation receives any of these "taxes". This is where my question of legality comes in. Representing a fee as a mandatory government tax to get people to pay more. If that's the case, you should tell everyone the name of the ffl, so people can avoid them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JaredC 6 Posted June 29, 2013 2 questions: 1) how come i see different NICS prices? I thought it was a 15.00 set by the state 2) i understand it is a service but what differences should i expect paying 100 dollers for a transfer to 35 for a transfer? does the ffl at 100 dollers make a union rate compared to a 35 ffl for example?

maintenanceguy 509 Posted June 29, 2013 FFLs set their own prices and the free market decides what those prices are. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrianN 0 Posted June 29, 2013 If that's the case, you should tell everyone the name of the ffl, so people can avoid them. Mentioned it in the original post. Carter Drugs in Matawan. My friend used them 4 times before I told him that was a bogus tax. Paid over well over 100 dollars extra in transfer fees. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is where my question of legality comes in. Representing a fee as a mandatory government tax to get people to pay more. Thats complete bull. Your friend should in not be paying tax based on what he paid for the gun. Unless the shop collected the money. If i were your friend i would call them and make a stink about it Added: If they collected tax it should have been mailed to the state where the firearm was purchased. NOT NJ. the sale did not take place here.... This might be illegal as he's collecting sales tax for one state but paying it to another.... another question i have is.... How does this store pay the money to NJ as you are asked for the purchase amount but that purchase amount will never show in his account. to me seems like a scam! This really pisses me off.

illy 1 Posted June 29, 2013 He should contact the state w/ copies of his receipts and advise them that he was going to pay the Use Tax (http://www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/su_4.shtml) but that the FFL collected it already. I'm sure the dept of treasury would be interested in what Carter Drugs is doing with his and who knows how many other people's use taxes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gleninjersey 2,134 Posted August 31, 2013 Just an idea....can the sheet be updated to add a column for FFL's that will permantly alter magazines? This way when a person purchases a pistol that has a magazine exceeding NJ's 15 round limit they will know exactly where to have the seller send it to have it made NJ compliant and the costs associtated to do so?

Sota 1,191 Posted October 17, 2013 Heritage Guild Branchburg 908.429.9500 wanted $100 total (didn't break out the cost) for a handgun transfer but they were nice enough to tell me to contact Ed Yanchok Warren 908 753-2365 $60 total for a handgun transfer Nice thing about Ed is he was willing to hold a firearm w/o any storage fee while I got a permit delay problem straightened out. He's a pleasant older fellow and he's 5 minutes from my house. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nikos 31 Posted November 2, 2013 Updated the list. I need to find a better way to perform the updates as there are too many steps involved to make a simple change. I will most likely host the spreadsheet on google docs.

anactivegrenade 25 Posted November 29, 2013 Typical Heritage Guild charging outrageous fees. Their prices are absolutely criminal. Too bad the townships here won't allow other gun shops to open, via the zoning depts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cmor1701d 0 Posted December 1, 2013 HGstaff will tell you to find another ffl. The owner is not interested in this type of business. But I don't find their prices to be outrageous. It depends in what you're looking for. Some guns are less than most places, some are more. If you're a range member you get 10% off on ammo and most accessories. Ammo is usually cheaper than most places including internet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
