arkansas does have a personal property tax on vehicles that are registered in the state. This is a county-based tax and isbased on depreciated value. The sales tax is 6-7 percent based on county or city, and there would never be a use tax if you paid that or more in some other state. The...

Arkansas is one of the less pushy states that appreciates snow birds and doesn't try to tax you to death. Just keep your current drivers license and voting cards. If you do earn Arkansas income, file a part year return for the state part, but keep your federal return where it is. If you visit...

Very interesting thread.

Thanks uze guys for your comments. I wii check with the law firm referenced. I have learned something about reciprocity and compacts and that sort of thing, which travelers seem to be in the middle of. Ohio Michigan and Illinois are raiding each other, ant this is an epicenter of what concerns...

Another issue is the growing number of states making it hard or impossible to get or keep a drivers license of any kind. Some of this is an immigration or anti-terrorism deal, while apparently some political parties which control statehouses wish to limit voting accessibility by members of the...

Hopefully this is not a rampant problem yet for anybody else but we are told that being in the same casino for 20 or more days during one 12 month period makes you subject to the environmental impact taxes of the second state

south dakota. Apparently SD is considered a tax fraud state by at least a few jealous other revenue departments

Nobody should have to pay taxes twice as state B must credit taxes paid in state A. But unfortunately a lot of locations are getting creative and calling the sales tax by some other name. It is a tax trap to watch out for and there are some states you will want to avoid even driving through.

Hello. We have been bombarded with tax notices from multiple states after apparently having our license plates photographed in parking lots of gambling casinos and apparently other places? Any other snowbirds or others having similar issues?
