The tax on sports equipment is just one item on
the proposed list of
luxury
items. Submarines are also on there.

Just got this message today (below). I don't know
anything about this,
but
thought I would pass it on to OBRA-ites.

Below are the email addresses of the state
representatives responsible
for
this proposed "luxury" tax. I sincerely believe
that an email is worth
the
time so that we can stop this insanity.

Subject: Proposed Oregon Luxury Tax
Hello Bicycle enthusiast and industry member:
Have you heard about the new bill in our state's
legislature?
You'll be very interested in Section 1, Item M
" Sports equipment with
a
purchase price of $500 or more per item."
and Section 2, Item 3: " The tax liability
imposed on the consumer by
this
section is considered paid at the
time the consumer pays to the retailer the
purchase price and tax on the
luxury item."
They are going to try to tax luxury items, such
as sporting goods
equipment
over $500, AND require
the business' such as bike shops to collect the
tax for the state, which
makes that company become an unpaid
tax collector for the state, adding costs to
their operation, which in
the
long run could cause the price
of the products they sell to increase.
I think this is something all bikes shops in the
state would be
interested
in knowing.
The .pdf file is attached.
