Things are worse if you live in Pennsylvania. I have a sailboat that I bought in New Jersey and keep in Maryland. I paid tax on the boat in New Jersey based on their laws then a little more to Maryland when I moved it there because of differences in the tax laws. I had no problem with these taxes. Pennsylavania wrote me a letter informing me that if my boat was ever used (defined as touching the shore of) in Pennsylvania I would owe them a 6% USE FEE. This is not a tax and it does not matter where or how much tax I might have paid elsewhere. Needless to say, I''ll never take it to PA.
