Whew! Taking advice from TOTV on a legal issue is like asking to perform your own heart surgery.

So, I would love to hear the defense when you are caught. It sounds something like this, someone who is unidentified told me on a internet board that I was not responsible for collecting tax. So, therefore, I am free, right?

If you buy a car from a neighbor, you will be required to pay sales tax when you register it. The fact that it has to be registered is not what triggers the tax requirement. It is the sale that triggers the tax requirement. But, again, that is just advice from an unknown poster on an internet board. Take it or leave it. But, the risk is on you.
