Despite AirBnb's argument that they're only an innocent 3rd party or conduit, they're being forced to collect hotel taxes.

As we move towards a cashless society, the ability for big brother to track sales/purchases, increases exponentially. Collecting sales tax on a used vehicle when it is "Registered", is merely an expedient solution for taxing authorities, at this point in time.

If you buy a used car from a private party and never register it, you don't have to pay a sales tax? That defies logic. It's merely common practice, because it's the expedient solution.

Agree but the latter I disagree with. If a vehicle is purchased privately and sits on someone’s property unregistered and uninsured....it’s a planter.
