I don't understand the
I don't understand the law here. Are 400 untaxed cigarettes the limit for purchases on reservations? Are the reservations compelled to enforce this, or are they without responsibility in the matter?
Scott. In case you aren't
Scott. In case you aren't being facetious, I'll try to explain it.
As far as I know, there is no "limit" to the amount of cigs you can purchase. I've personally witnessed individuals purchase hundreds of cartons in a single transaction.
I'm not sure, but, I believe you can ride around all day on the reservation and not be arrested for having 'too' many untaxed smokes - as long as you stay on the reservation. Once you enter NY state (proper) though, you can be charged if found in possesstion of more than 400 (2 cartons) of untaxed smokes.
NY allows each adult (present) a maximum of 400 untaxed cigs.
5 adults in a vehicle carrying 10 cartons (100 packs), you're good-to-go. But, 5 adults in possession of 101 packs, SOMEBODY'S in trouble.
And, no, the Indians have no resposibility in how many packs, or cartons, a person buys. That's up to the purchaser.
Thanks, Ed. Not facetious
Thanks, Ed. Not facetious at all. I'm a Kansas native, now a non-smoking New Yorker of two years. All very strange to me.
It's not that the
It's not that the Native-Americans have no responsibility it's that they are doing nothing wrong, ON the reservation, and are not responsible for what people do after they walk out of the smoke shop.
And no, they should not warn people who buy more than 400 tax free smokes about the law either. They treat adults AS adults who should know how many untaxed cigs they're allowed to be in possession of off the reservation.
Are these individuals given
Are these individuals given the opportunity to pay the taxes they "owe" on the extra smokes? This nation was founded by tax evaders, how far we have fallen.

Your link was interesting reading, Thomas.
Here'a a little-known fact that'll open some people's eyes.
If you are a NY (state) resident, and happen to buy tangible goods (Lay-Z Boy chair, golf clubs, microwave oven, or whatever) in another state, and plan on using said goods in NY, by law, you 'owe' NY a ''use'' tax on those goods.
But, it gets ever better. Say you live in Hornell (NY), and you take your broken table radio across the border to PA, to have some guy there fix it. When you bring it back to NY, you 'owe' NY a 'use' tax on the cost of having it repaired in a different state.
How's THAT for the ultimate 'screw job'?
