For ages I have said the only difference between the bureaucacy in the USA and the UK is about four hundred years.....but it appears we are catching up at the quick step.
States are now looking to yachts, airplanes, and Motor Coach RV's as a new source of revenue.
The link takes you to an article that discusses this new concept of taxing.
An example....take your Cirrus Airplane to the state of Maine for a three week holiday....or any number of trips that approximate that number of days and get a whopping 17,000 USD tax bill....and interest on the unpaid amount and penalty for another 8,000 USD.
