Are airbags tax-exempt?
Worse they are tarrifed we import basically all of them for every kind of car
Yes, airbags are exempt items from the National Firearms Act. Your question genuinely doesn't make sense. What tax do you think applies to airbags? Property tax? Sales tax? No one is suggesting suppressors be "tax-exempt", especially because that term doesn't make any sense in this context.
VAT. I didn’t know the United States doesn’t have that.
the us is 50 states each with many counties and many cities in raceach of those, just because one level doesn't have tax doesn't mean the others don't
This sounded like you were arguing that they should be tax-exempt.
The problem with your comment, yet again, is "tax-exempt" is a meaningless term in this context. What does that mean, exactly? Exempt from what tax?
I am merely trying to decipher your words. So why don't you just tell us what you mean?
Prior to this bill, the sale of a supressor would incur an additional $200 federal tax on top of whatever state sales tax was owed.
