Thanks to the folks who responed to me with
advice/support. I know it's a futile effort trying to
get my $116.05 back, but if it ruffles someone's
feathers, it might be worth every penny. hehe
It might be worth a few laughs to forward this to GL
to see what their take on it is. Maybe I'll try
Senator Trent Lott next.....
Here is my e-mail to the Mississippi State Tax
Commission:
You cannot get a refund for Mississippi. If you show
them you paid it
at registration, I thought they might give you a
refund.

Patsy,
Thanks for the prompt reply.
GL is a large company that sells excess government
equipment and vehicles in probably every state. Their
main headquarters is in Arizona, but I bought this
vehicle from their office at Keesler AFB, in Biloxi,
MS. The invoice has their AZ address at the top. If
I could prove that I bought it from a MS office, would
I be able to get a refund from MS? They charge the
full rate sales tax from whatever state they are in,
no matter what the item is.
Others I know have tried to question GL about this
practice, but always get the big company, fine print
run-around.
Sincerely,
Jeff Gatton
