They said that they have to report by federal order to report cigararette orders to the states that require a state tax. OK. I have no problem. I will no longer order from an Indian Reservation. Why am I getting a tax bill after the notifcation?
Hello Law School Graduates. Here is a case to argue. My tax bill is for previous orders with no notice that previous orders would be taxed?

You did something illegal by trying to evade the tax, and got caught, so now you have to pay up. PA is doing the same thing. This is not a new law, it's been there all along, but someone just realized how much it's being broken and started tracking it and charging people.

Welcome to the real world. When you purchase things out of state you still have to pay the state taxes. Obviously NJ has figured out a way to track your out of state purchases and levy the tax. The fact that you were unaware of the law is immaterial; you still are liable for the tax.
The tax isn't levied by the seller and they are under no obligation to warn you of the potential tax status of your purchases. As an out-of-state buyer it's up to you to determine the tax status of your purchases and render the taxes as needed.
There is no case to argue. Pay up!
