Did some math earlier on estimated sales tax savings on goods and services. Using the last several months for the data and the tax rate from the state we moved from, we're looking at saving ~$1,000 in sales tax a year. That's pretty amazing.
And that doesn't even factor in groceries, which were taxed a small % where we lived before (NC).

Does that include use tax?, for example, paying tax on Amazon purchases that people conveniently "forget" to include when filing income tax?
For example, Amazon has offices in Massachusetts, so residents their have 6.25% added to their orders, but Amazon doesn't collect sales tax for North Carolina orders

That's a great point. No, it doesn't include online shopping. And I am a fairly frequent shopper on Amazon and other sites too.
even more savings!
ETA - I checked a couple of orders I placed on Amazon while in NC. I was charged sales tax on a couple of orders, but not all. Strange.

NH taxes are weird, 9% tax on restaurant meals and though no sales tax on cars the excise tax exceeds a 6% sales tax in like 4 years. So while you save money short term, in the long term it seems to be more than paying it upfront!
Amazon gave up the Sales/Use tax fight and assigns it on all orders that ship to states that have a tax.
If i Ship a order to my home in Georgia, I get changed Sales Tax, If I ship it to my sister in Nashua, I don't get charged sales tax.
Not true. Amazon charges state sales tax "if" it has a warehouse or business setup in that state, and the state changes a sales tax. Many states that have a sale tax and no amazon companies setup in thier state still do not collect a sales tax.

Disagree. You have control over what you buy. Unless you eat at a restaurant for all your meals, 9% is really not a big deal. Plenty of people pack a lunch and don't have to buy prepared food every day.
I also used to live in NY, 8.65% tax on going out to eat and goods except clothing (tax is collected at the county level for clothing which is around 4.5%), groceries and over the counter meds. Oh and you're paying full sales tax on your car. Registration is a little cheaper though.
There is no "gotcha". No sales tax in NH is awesome!

9% tax on restaurant meals should have much impact on overall sales tax savings when compared to other states. Because other states have tax (6-8%) on restaurant meals too. It's not that NH residents pay 9% more than other states in this, it's just 1 or 2% more than other states which is almost nothing even if one eats out frequently.
Hate to pay the sales tax when I'm in Massachusetts.....but I've been working there a lot the last several years so sometimes it can't be avoided.
