So if I don't have an OFFICIAL receipt from the individual sending me a rifle or handgun through his/her FFL to MY FFL how do I show  my FFL what I paid other than an email of correspondence showing agreed price/transaction

Is this sufficient enough?
NV started collecting sales tax

Thanks

Try to convince the FFL its a gift?

yeah it's fucking nonsense several of them are not collecting it. I am pretty sure New Frontier Armory was trying to fight it.

I would declare it a gift.


here's the thread on it in the NVHTF

generally they look up what the fair market value is then charge you tax on that.

Least that's how they've done it in WA state in lieu of an invoice.

Get the guy to send you a letter stating how much he sold it to you for.

The last place I bought a gun from has this on their website






PLEASE
NOTE: The State of Nevada Dept of Taxation has determined that Nevada
sales tax must be collected on all firearm purchases when they are
delivered to Nevada residents, unless the seller has collected sales tax
from the buyer.
In
addition, the Dept of Taxation has determined that the transfer fees
are taxable. If you have questions or comments about the requirement,
please contact the State of Nevada at  
1-866-962-3707.





As a result of the state mandate, we must be provided a copy of your sales receipt during or prior to picking up your firearm.





 If
the seller does not provide a sales receipt with your shipment, we
cannot deliver your firearm unless you provide a receipt when you come
in. If you purchase from a private seller (via Gunbroker, GunsAmerica,
etc), a print out from the website is acceptable. If we are transferring
a gift from an out of state family member, we need a signed declaration
from the sender that states this is a gift to you and no money has been
exchanged. We cannot accept resale certificates unless you are an FFL
licensee.






 Please
understand that we do not agree with the mandate, but are legally
required to comply with it. As a result of the additional work we are
required to do by the State, please note our fee structure has changed:

Is it used? If so there shouldn't be a sales tax on it? I am pretty sure in CA they only charge sales tax on new guns bought online, but not for used sales from individuals.

I just picked up a transfer today from NFA.  If there is no invoice in the package and it came from an individual,  THEY DO NOT CHARGE TAX.. If you buy it online fom an FFL, distributor, etc.  you get charged tax.

As I understand it that is true, for now, but even if it is a car you are supposed to still file it on your taxes.
Used purchases are still taxable and are on a "honor system" if you will. But that does not mean you are NOT supposed to claim them.

If you win $500 at a casino, there is no paperwork to fill out. BUt you are supposed to claim the winnings on your taxes. Many don't!

That is how it was explained to me any how.

Apologize my ass.  You do not have to pay sales tax to the FFL when you are receiving a transfer from a private individual.  Especially if it is a trade deal.  So smart guy, show me the exact wording from the state that says that you have to.

The bottom line is that I picked up my wheelgun today and DID NOT HAVE TO PAY SALES TAX TO THE FFL.

Read your own links loudmouth.  The burden of proof is on the buyer:

When a FFL delivers a firearm purchased from an out of state retailer to a Nevada
consumer, the Nevada FFL must collect and remit sales tax on the purchase price of the
firearm unless the consumer can show that tax has been paid or that the sale is an
occasional sale.


2 per year is the NV definition of "occasional".

If the weapon came from another FFL it is taxable.  And you can bet the tax weenies will be looking for multiple sales from individuals.  A dealer would not have access to the records the state has, and would be smart to treat it all as taxable.

But clench your little fists and jump up & down all you like.  You sound like the clown in the wrangler with the huge Hk logo on the back, cutting off people & giving them the finger I saw on Decatur yesterday...

So essentially, NV is requiring FFLs in the state to falsify tax documents to overstate their gross receipts.

NRS 372.025(1):
“Gross receipts” means the total amount of the sale or lease or rental price, as the case may be, of the retail sales of retailers, valued in money, whether received in money or otherwise,


But the  "sale" didn't occur in NV, only a statutorily required transfer.  

NRS 372.060(1).  “Sale” means and includes any transfer of title or possession, exchange, barter, lease or rental, conditional or otherwise, in any manner or by any means whatsoever, of tangible personal property for a consideration..


Ok, so there is a transfer of possession, but if the FFL doesn't charge for it, that transfer is not for a consideration.

Sounds like you NV guys need to get a fund going and hire a good tax lawyer to tell the Dept. of Taxation to shove it up their ass.
