Not if you don't live there. :-X24

I've been known to make some purchases while passing through NH to avoid sales tax!!!

As Ron said...for a state with no income tax or sales tax...NH can be a pretty expensive state to live in!!!

They all have there catches.

Now that's the truth!!!

Good evening Kevin. The old girl gets a little testy does she. Vermont property taxes ain't all that cheap either. But our vehicle registration is.
