Texas Outside Storage TAX????
Just got my bill from the storage place where I store my trailer at, in an open parking stall. There was an extra $7.11 tacked on. Called the storage place and they said as of Jan 1., the state of Texas is now making storage companies charge sales tax on the storage fee for anything parked outside EXCEPT watercraft. I have a locked storage unit there where I keep my ATV's and dirtbike and they don't have to charge me tax on it.
Just ranting,

All I can find in the tax code applies to motor vehicles. My trailer doesn't have a motor
I guess I could go out and buy a watercraft and stick it on my GN I shouldn't have to pay taxes that way.

Ran across this while researching: Occasional Use Tax
snippet:
"All Texans are responsible for paying occasional use tax when they buy taxable goods and services for use in Texas and the seller does not charge Texas sales tax, or does not charge the correct amount of Texas sales tax. Use tax is reported and paid directly to the Texas Comptroller's office.
For example, if you buy a shirt through an online auction from a seller in Ohio who does not charge you sales tax, or a New York electronics store sells you a camera through its Web site and does not charge you sales tax, you owe Texas use tax."
I didn't know that

Yes, it's fully enclosed with roof, sides, 2 doors. The sun/rain/light never hits my trailer unless I take it out. The storage place hasn't contacted me about any extra taxes/fees.........but I guess in that case it wouldn't apply since it's "inside".
