I rec’d a tax bill for sales tax on product I imported from Mexico two years ago. $700 originally, turned into $1256.

Now, here’s news: My housekeeper bought two sweatshirts on eBay 4 years ago. Cost of the shirts: $8 each + $0.99 shipping. Total of $16.99. SHE just got a sales tax bill from NYS for $263 for sales tax + penalties & interest. The NY source of this info? US Customs. I’m expecting an eBy bill from them shortly….

Tax guy says “State sponsored extortion.” This could spread.
