Apple Participating in Sales Tax Holiday for Select U.S. States

[jdclifford]

With all the smoke-and-mirrors in corporate accounting, I sometimes wonder if my sales tax actually winds up in the appropriate hands... or if it winds up in one of those off-shore accounts where Uncle Sam can't get it. Whatever your thoughts on government, I'd like to be sure my dollars are going where they are claiming to go. Otherwise, Apple and others are just padding their pockets illegally.

This is a genuine question. Can anyone shed some light on this?

All entities collecting sales tax are required to file sales/use tax returns monthly/quarterly with the taxing authorities and remit the tax collected. Significant audit activity also ensures compliance. Only the smaller/struggling vendors are the ones most likely to have compliance/cash flow issues.

Can't a CTO be set for pickup in store? But yea, whenever I get to MD if. I need something that makes it worth teh gas I make a Delaware run; and bypass teh 95 toll by the back road past UD.

I never thought about that! Going to try it when the new MBP comes out.

Does it include items from the Refurbished store?

I doubt it since it is an online sale and they probably haven't bothered to program in all the various tax holidays.
