TAXES: Unless exempted by the law, the purchaser will be required to pay the combined New York State and local sales tax (currently 8.375% in Westchester County), any applicable compensating use tax of another state, and if applicable, any federal luxury or other tax, on the total purchase price including buyer's premium. Purchases picked up in New York State or delivered to locations in New York State are subject to sales or compensating use tax of such jurisdiction, and Shapiro Auctions LLC is required by law to collect and remit the appropriate sales tax in effect in New York State unless appropriate documentation of exemption is provided. Buyers claiming exemption from sales tax must have the appropriate documentation on file with Shapiro Auctions LLC prior to the release of the property. If property is delivered to a state where Shapiro Auctions LLC is not required to collect sales tax, it is the responsibility of the purchaser to self-assess any sales or use tax and remit it to taxing authorities in that state. Shapiro Auctions LLC is not required to collect sales tax for property delivered to the purchaser outside of the United States.
