Sales tax on a custom cue?

[garczar]

No tax on food or drugs. And I’ll compare property tax with most states.

My point is they get it from somewhere. Looks like corporate taxes/fees are the main $ getter.

So i was getting ready to buy a cue from a custom cue maker and he gave me the price of the cue. I was ok with it. Then he said plus sales tax. So im thinking that he is just trying to pad the price a little.
I have never been charged sales tax by a custom cue maker. And I cannot imagine why anyone would voluntarily tell the government that they made a pool cue and sold it for profit and would like to pay 25 percent income tax on it.
Its one things for good and services that are trackable, but how many small time cue makers are actually claiming their cues as income and paying income tax on selling them.
Have any of you ever been asked to pay sales tax on a custom cue before? Im just trying to figure out if its common or this guy is trying to pocket the sales tax charge...

YES, you have. it was already figured into the price. how are you paying? handing him cash? or using an electronic form of payment? if so the government already knows how much you paid and who you paid it to.

Not in Delaware.

Or any of the other NOMAD states either…….Delaware is only one of several states.
