Many States have what's usually called a "B&O" tax on businesses. Due annually on equipment, premises, and inventory. But retroactive? Only in PA!
Yup. Never heard of old inventory but not on purchases for resale. On the other hand, if you have old inventory, yer doin' sumpthin wrong! ;)

If I did business in PA, I'd think about moving my mail order business to a warehouse in an adjoining state, shipping from there, and paying the tax only on items in stock for sale in brick and mortar stores. PA may lose in the long run. Business people aren't stupid.

Mornin' All!

Just spotted this in the Schools telling children........ thread:

This kind of thing has also become a nation wide problem, the schools brain washing our own children and grand children against us. To me, it's deplorable!

:cool: V V :cool:

To me the whole thing or things that are happening are deplorable. There are so many other things way more important then 20mil vapers which obviously have no say in their own freedom of choice. I just don't get it well I do it's all about money. There should be a voters pamphlet put out for vapers of who to vote for and against, I know my old union puts one out every election. I'm still trying to figure out if you order from fastech in the State of WA, I am sure they are not going to get licensed plus the packages are supposed to be labeled with Ecig Products Contained or some such thing but Fastech sells a lot of stuff. How are they going to know. I'm sure the tax is coming, they have their foot in the door. Hopefully this governor will be voted out this election but who knows, the West side of the state made the difference of getting the unnamed being made legal but they are mostly against vaping for the children. The East side of the state is a minority.

    Pat, the packages are labeled "electronics". And usually marked as a "gift". :)
    OK thanks. This state is requiring packages be labeled something to do with either tobacco or ecigs but it hasn't gone into effect yet and the person selling it has to be licensed to import to the state of WA.

    Sorry. I'm voting for all 3.
    I could live quite happily with that.
    One of my co-workers contacted me today extremely worried.
    Next year, there will be a change to our health insurance:
    If you smoke OR VAPE, they will charge an extra $750 unless -
    1) You take a pledge to quit
    2) You make 1 free and 2 paid phone calls to a quit line
    3) You schedule therapy sessions
    4) You schedule a quit date

    My response:
    I told them last year that I'm a non-smoker. I'm still a non-smoker, and will state that on the form.
    I will not allow them to pass go, and they will not collect their $750. I refuse to be punished for making myself healthy by subsidizing the bad habits of others.
    After all, I really don't expect to be hospitalized for vaping related health issues.

    She felt a bit better about that, and said she would do the same thing.
    Insurance companies are out of control. They don't test for legal/illegal drug, dangerous activities, caffine ingestion, booze consumption or any other oddball stuff, but quit smoking and they charge you more (plus the wasted expense for testing). I intensily dislike them for so many reasons.

    Do keep a sharp eye out for if/how you will be tested for it and do your research. It can take awhile to clear your sysetm depending on the test.

    Weird, I can only see it by replying to it. That's a far calmer reaction than the dog had when he found out he was going back to the vet today. :lol:
    RTS Leasing is the parent company for RTS Vapes. Been that way from day one.

    Since I wasn't really expecting any mail today I decided I didn't want to go out in the heat to check the mail. The walk to the mail box is usually my exercise for the day :D Well, out of curiosity I checked to see where my recent order was at and low and behold. My 2 black subox mini kits were delivered and waiting for me out there :D I just ordered them Monday morning, they were coming from NJ. Unbelievably fast but I ain't complaining. I really think I am done with shopping for the time being. I wonder where I've heard that before :D
