You are still obligated to pay New York taxes on crossing the New York border.

If you decide to not pay the obligatory tax or user fee as some call it an then have a guilty conscience about it later or get caught later on, you will pay the user fee plus a stiff penalty anyway.

Barlows was great to deal with and you cannot beat their prices and expertise. They are very knowledgeable about what they sell.

Just playing devil's advocate here - several people are quick to add that you need to pay the sales tax. That rule also applies to all online purchases (Amazon, eBay, etc.) doesn't it? Are you reporting all of those purchases in your tax returns as well?

Anyone on this forum buy from Barlows from New York area? I'm just curious because I'm about to purchase atractor from Barlows. So I was wondering about not having to pay the tax on the tractor being out of state and any run into problems?

Hi there. Just send you a pm.

Good point. The Gubbamint tax supporters likely buy on line and don't pay taxes like the rest of us.

I have a friend who lives in Canada. He often comes down here to buy stuff to avoid the taxes. Equipment like a tractor he would unload, go and play in the mud to get it dirty, then load it back up. For smaller items he would take them out of the packaging and make it look used. If it was small he would just say he bought it at a garage sale, if large he would get bill of sale saying he paid a lot less than he did for it. As far as I know he never got caught. Not really sure what they could do other than say he owed more taxes.

As for buying a tractor from Barlows, if you pay cash there's not going to be a record of the sale. If you finance it then Kubota credit will want to put a lien on it and could file paperwork with the town, county, or state documenting the lien.

You are ethically & legally required to report out of state purchases. However there is no method for a state to track out of state purchases unless they require vehicle/tractor registration. You have virtually no chance of any repercussions.

There is a UCC filing if you finance. We have had a handful of customers have to pay the tax because of that. Odds are slim though.

I'm not in New York, but I did purchase from Barlow's and saved a pile of money and had a great transaction.

I would do it again in a heartbeat.
