B&H and PayBoo

I suspect it's just a matter of time until they close the sales tax loophole with PayBoo.

A few million here, a few million there and pretty soon you are talking about real money. You have to start somewhere and remember the money is/was ours.

If B&H sends in the tax due, I don't think the state will care who "pays" it.

I agree. The OP should take note of this and wonder why the thread has digressed into so many tangential matters. I believe I know why: because B&H Payboo is old news. I think it’s been almost a year now since it debuted. I have a Payboo account and it works fine. NEXT TOPIC?Headed for the Attic...

The tax is paid to the states. It's BH that pays it for you. The states have no say who pays it, as long as it's paid.

But using PayBoo and purchase from B&H you still pay the sales tax but it's B&H pays for you.

NYC Sales Tax = 8.875%, are you that rich?
I noticed they moved the decimal point to 3 digit numbers. NYC didn't want to give you a break, and charge 8.8%. But didn't want to charge you 8.9% either. That' higher than what I pay in California. Sooner, or later, you'll be paying a flat 9%. I bought most of my camera gear from B&H. About 80%. And, before the online sales tax rule went into effect, I was paying no sales tax, and free shipping on purchases over $49. Those good old days are over. But, I don't buy much from them anymore, like I have done for the past 10 years. I pay over 8% sales tax. But, it varies from County to County in California.

What if you buy a $5000 lens?
If I were able to buy a $5,000 lens the tax would be no problem...

It works the same as PAYPAL credit, which is now through Synchrony Bank also. Good alternative if you were planning to use a CC and not pay it off all at once. Make the payments by due dates for interest free in 6 months (or 12 depending on amount of purchase). How can you beat it.

And Amazon has a card that has no fees and refunds 5% of anything purchased on Amazon.

In this program by B&H, they pay the tax. Nobody is dodging. It's simply a promotional tool.
Hi Linda,
I hope this finds you and yours well. You are and others who have similarly stated are quite correct in that B&H pays all required taxes on a any Payboo purchase. The ideal way to buy with Payboo is to make sure you pay for your Payboo purchase in full in the time allotted so as not to incur interest charges, late fees, etc.
Our Payboo Card has been well received by our customers and is steadily growing in popularity. Since I got my Payboo card my dining room looks like the B&H Warehouse! It's like getting an additional 8.75% discount (NYC Sales Tax) off our already low prices.
Anyone seeking more information about the card can send an email to Henry Posner at henryp@bhphoto.com
All the best.
