I am a New Jersey resident who is currently working in Virginia on a 179 day work detail. I am a federal employee (if that matters). I know if I buy things over the internet and have them sent to my NJ residence I have to pay use tax to NJ. I am thinking of buying about 10K worth of merchandise over the internet and having them delivered to my PO Box at Ft Belvoir, VA. The merchandise is rare coins. Would I legally owe use tax to Virginia? I know I don't have to pay use tax to NJ if the goods don't enter NJ for at least a year after purchase. I am not a Virginia resident and I am living in different hotels during my stay. Aside from my PO box I don't have an address in VA that I stay at for more than 19 days at a time. dennis
