SandBox_Kid Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Why did I just get charged for tax on my camping pass? It has never been that way in the past. What's up with that? Quote
suzukilt Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 ouch, I really think they are getting carried away with the passes, they are going to drive people away from going there, or maybe thats what they are try to do.... Quote
dunefreak Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Where did you buy it? The BLM doesn't tax you when you buy it from them out there. :argue: Are you talking about the entrance pass? Quote
SandBox_Kid Posted January 18, 2008 Author Posted January 18, 2008 Yes....entrance pass at Johnny Walker's. Quote
dunefreak Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 I don't think they are suppose to tax you. :argue: Quote
indasand Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 There's no tax when I buy them in CA... Quote
SandBox_Kid Posted January 18, 2008 Author Posted January 18, 2008 I don't think they are suppose to tax you. I didn't think so either. Nevada Off Road may have over charged me for the OHV pass, but they didn't tax either the OHV or entrance pass I bought from them for opening weekend. I'll wait and see what Terry thinks. One other thing. I spoke with both Carter Powersports and Johnny Walker's employees on the phone to check on pass availability, and both are just as frustrated as I was when it came to not having the non-res OHV passes available also. Seemed inconvienient that I had to purchase my entrance pass from one place and my OHV pass at yet another. :argue: I sure hope this gets better..... Quote
Sincity_blondie Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 I bought my opening weekend pass at Johnnie walker, or halloween, dont remember. But its when they first got them. I was the 1st person they sold to. They didnt tax me? Did you question them on it at the register? Im thinking maybe the person ringing it up rang it up wrong possibly? Quote

Yes...Shery questioned it, and they said yes. However, listening to your explanation it sounds reasonable. Quote
ynot Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Yes...Shery questioned it, and they said yes. However, listening to your explanation it sounds reasonable. There is no tax on it period. i would think that somebody made an error on it. I will forward this posts to my friend at Johnny Walker's and hopefully he can get it straightened out. I was unaware that J Walker was interested in getting OHV passes also, I will ask about that too. Terry Quote
Mr. Edgy Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Taxing a tax....now thats the American way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
BigBoreVegas Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Taxing a tax....now thats the American way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! exactly i was curious how the government could tax you for buying a pass to use their land. hmmmm Quote

I also just heard on another thread that they only have 2 passes left? What's up with the BLM and providing the vendors with what they need? I can understand why the vendors are frustrated. Quote
DUNE SMURF Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 just went to carter and picked up our pass. they only have one left according to the parts guy :shocked2: Quote
Warrior07 Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 :shocked2: so what's the big deal anyway on buying the pass from a vendor when you can pay for it at the entrance Quote
dunedog 805 Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 exactly i was curious how the government could tax you for buying a pass to use their land. hmmmm UMM don't u mean our land!! but I know what ur saying!! Quote
sandstarved Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 so what's the big deal anyway on buying the pass from a vendor when you can pay for it at the entrance It just nice to know you can pick one up when your in the area! :shocked2: Quote

dunefreak Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 so what's the big deal anyway on buying the pass from a vendor when you can pay for it at the entrance I think the main goal of having everyone buy the pass off-site is too help alleviate congestion and lines entering Dumont on the busy weekends. There are other reasons, but I think that is the biggest reason behind it. Quote

There are other reasons, but I think that is the biggest reason behind it. I realize they are still trying to work out the kinks with the passes. But if they plan to eliminate selling them at dumont, I certainly hope they are going to make sure the vendors have enough on hand to meet the demand. I can see alot of people getting frustrated real quick trying to buy them elsewhere like they were told to do, and they arent available. Edited February 14, 2008 by Sincity_blondie Quote

There are other reasons, but I think that is the biggest reason behind it. its because typically if your going to buy a dumont pass, you may need other equipment also, and busier people like to get everything in one place. its a form of basically free advertising/customer traffic into local businesses. those businesses sign up to sell them for that reason i believe Quote
