online cigarette tax

Hello,
I received a letter from the state of NJ advising me I owe back taxes on online cigarette purchases made several years ago. Unfortunately at the time of purchase I made them in order to take advantage of the cheaper price not to "cheat" the state so now I am quite shocked by the bill I am being asked to pay. As I said this was a few years ago when I still smoked. Is there any recourse for me in this issue?
Thank you for any advice,
Lori

You can dispute it and force them to prove it...they often do not want to do so; or have WLD lawyers intervene if need be.

Thank you for replying. How do I get WLD to intervene? They have sent me copies of all dates and purchase amounts made.
Thank you,
Lori

Hello, I live in Michigan and I purchased cigarettes online over two years ago. I also just wanted to support my bad habit for a lower cost. I did not know there was a law against purchasing any product online. It shouldn't matter what was purchased where in this
FREE Country, what State or from what business. The State Governments have no right
to single out and persecute people for buying cigarettes from another source to save money! Why don't they go after everything purchased online???
I have not yet received a bill for taxes owed, but my father in-law has.
They say he owes the state $900.00. They are charging him $20.00 per carton for the tax he would have paid on them here in MI.
I believe this is a constitutional violation of our rights and freedoms of this great Country.
When I receive my bill from them , I will fight it. What gives them the right when I can drive to another state and bring back 2 cartons legally without paying any extra.
Somebody must start a protest petition against this.
