Question: In australia, do I have to pay taxes when buying online (US site)?

Hi, I’m in Melbourne, VIC Australia.

I want to buy some perfume from a US online retail store because it is much cheaper than in AUS.

But when they deliver the product, do I have to pay the tax?

Looking for your answers. Thank you.

Answer: Small amounts of marijuana haven’t been a criminal offense in California since 1976. If caught with less than an ounce you get a citation for which the fine is 100 dollars. Also busts for small amounts don’t even show up on your criminal history.

I look at the current marijuana laws in much the same way as prohibition was back in the early 20th century. At one time the federal government thought alcohol was responsible for so much damage to society they tried to ban it.

Prohibition was a disaster remember? Despite stiff penalties for possession, sales and consumption of alcoholic beverages the vast majority of the American public continued to drink.

The major difference between now and then is instead of Chicago based mobsters like Al Capone raking in millions of dollars per year from producing and distributing illegal liquor you’ve got Mexican drug cartels calling the shots.

I would like to see weed legalized, taxed and regulated in the same manner as alcohol. If the pending California legislation passes it’s expected to bring in BILLIONS per year.

Question: Is it illegal for states to tax non residents pension accounts?

I have lived in Nevada for 2 years and got a pension payment in 2010.
I moved out of California & i work for the same company for 10 yrs so when i transfered to Nevada my employer never updated my new state housing information.
So i did my state tax online & they say i have to pay $69 to California because i took out a retirement payment before the age of 59..
Is this illegal for them to take my money considering i have not lived in California for 2 yrs?

Answer: CA can tax your CA sourced pension up until the date that you moved to NV. The fact that an employer or account custodian failed to update their records is irrelevant. You might need to satisfy the FTB of the date that your domicile actually changed, but if the payout occurred after you left CA, they can’t tax it.

This is governed by Federal law that has been on the books since the Clinton administration.

Answer: I would love it…but there are plenty of Obama appointed hack judges and Clinton era ones who would stop it. And thanks to the fact of the last amnesty, the illegals have gained a foothold in the country. The amnestied ones can’t be removed now, and will make their reps vote against it.
