question on new tax when you disembark in texas

[winddawn]

This is NOT a new tax, they have been collecting it I know for at least 40 years when crossing the border between Mexico and Texas. It is fairly new at the port. Texas does NOT have a state income tax, so we need to get it where we can.

If you notice, this is an old thread from 2014 when the tax was being implemented on cruise passengers. But new questions are being posted for those not familiar with Texas' crazy tax grab.

 

I personally do not feel compelled to leave my tax dollars in Texas to fill the void. :-)

I visited Texas quite a few years ago but didnt realize you had no income tax?

 

Larado on the border was a bit of a strange place though!

 

No inheritance tax either!
