The Cellar - View Single Post - I think I'm smoking counterfeit cigarettes

I heard on the radio a few weeks back that here in PA, people are getting bills for the taxes they SHOULD have paid for the ciggies they bought online. It is legal for the gub'mint to request records of who bought what, extrapolate out the tax bill, and then send you a request for funds that may just make you mess yourself. (The bill I heard about was 32K....that's a LOT of smokes!)

So, companies may want to make money, but the gub'mint is going to get what they 'think' is theirs.
