Every long distance buyer I've purchased from has always sent a physical receipt with the firearm to my ffl. I usually have an email copy from the time of purchase, but the physical copy stays with the firearm in transit. I don't know if that's because of legalities or courtesy, but that's how it's been in my experience. If you're missing a bill of sale or receipt, contact the seller.In your experience, when a dealer ships a gun to you, or, your FFL, a gun they sold to you, not a transfer, do they include a receipt, or bill of sale with the firearm?

I don't believe the receiving ffl takes any part in the sale transaction, collecting payments, or reporting tax. That burden is on the seller. The ffl just facilitates the bgc and transfer.Yes. That's how the WA FFL calculates tax to charge and send to the .gov.
Oh wow, so you have to pay sales tax at point of sale and then pay additional use tax at the time of transfer?!
I did some digging because I didn't understand the tax implications. As I understand it now, if the seller has already charged and remitted the sales tax at the point of sale, in the correct amount, then the dealer does not collect use tax. If there is no sales tax stated on the receipt, or a difference between the tax amount collected and the actual tax amount owed, then the dealer connects and remits the use tax. I'm just talking to myself at this point, because you guys already knew that. But for my own clarification, I had to get that out of my system. Either way, the receipt should have been included in the shipment, and you should contact the seller.Oh wow, so you have to pay sales tax at point of sale and then pay additional use tax at the time of transfer?!
My understanding of sales taxes is limited to an Oregonian perspective. I get it now.No. In WA the dealer collects the use tax if you didn't already pay it to the selling dealer. The use tax is not charged on top of the sales tax.
I have also been charged sales tax when receiving a rifle that was a straight across trade....Oh wow, so you have to pay sales tax at point of sale and then pay additional use tax at the time of transfer?!
Wrong.I don't believe the receiving ffl takes any part in the sale transaction, collecting payments, or reporting tax. That burden is on the seller. The ffl just facilitates the bgc and transfer.
I did a LOT more buying, selling, trading before the FFL transferring got in the way. Everything was less confounding and there weren't any extra fees to a deal.I have also been charged sales tax when receiving a rifle that was a straight across trade....
Stupid law....That and the $50 processing fee the local FFL extorts , makes it so I don't much if any business via our classified system
