The Referee's Closet is please to announce:TAX FREE
SHOPPING FOR OUR NEW JERSEY RESIDENTS
(...well, almost)
The Referee's Closet has recently petitioned for, and
was awarded an exemption from the NJ Sales and Use Tax for the referee
equipment we sell. In an agreement reached with the State of New
Jersey, effective Friday, March 9, 2007 sales tax will no longer be
collected by The Referee's Closet for the purchase of the following
items:
-
Sweaters
-
Referee Pants
-
Helmets/Visors
-
Shin Guards
-
Elbow Pads
-
Girdles
Unfortunately, accessory items such as bags, whistles,
laces, and shintights will still be subject to the Sales and Use Tax,
but given the relatively inexpensive nature of these items, the added
tax for these items should be negligible.
Tax on Shipping:
When the new Sales and Use Tax laws were enacted in July, the State
mandated that we charge sales tax on the shipping & handling charges as
well for orders containing taxable items. Unfortunately, our
shopping cart cannot conditionally charge sales tax on the shipping
based on if the order contains taxable items or not.
As a result, each order place that is shipped to New
Jersey will be charged sales tax on the shipping by the shopping cart.
If your order contains only the non-taxable items listed above, we will
manually remove the sales tax from the order when it is imported into
our order processing system. Orders that have a mix of taxable and
non-taxable items will still be charged sales tax on the shipping (and
the taxable items) as calculated by the shopping cart.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this
recent ruling, please feel free to contact us at
info@refcloset.com or
877-333-7335.
Sincerely,
Jim Nafus, Owner
