Re: [Paddlewise] Registration of watercraft

Here in Illinois one must prove that the sales tax was paid before 
registration is allowed.  Since registration of a kayak costs less than the 
cost of processing the application, the whole thing is a tax issue.  For 
boats purchased out of state, the difference between sales tax paid and the 
Illinois rate must be paid, unless more was paid out of state.

But for a few bucks, it isn't so bad.  We paddlers have been able to get the 
state to pay for access points [which for the disabled is a godsend and it 
isn't so bad for less adventurous paddlers, either] by pointing out that we 
are paying our fees.
