That makes sense reading it from that webpage, but then on the actual gifting page it says,
“The person transferring the vehicle must have met the tax laws of the state they registered it.”
https://www.mass.gov/service-details/familygift-transfers
So if they paid tax in their state (NH=$0) doesn’t that statement conflict with what you posted above? Is it not bizarre that on the actual gifting page it doesn’t mention anything about the previous tax in MA?

"Later than March" but not specifying which year is classic MBTA.

So, they’ll have to change the health laws?

I am not a lawyer, but, according to the Mass.gov website, transfers to family are only exempt from paying sales tax if the original owner paid MA sales tax on the vehicle.
https://www.mass.gov/guides/motor-vehicle-and-trailer-sales-and-use-tax
Under exemptions:
>Family transfer (Form MVU-26) – As long as the transferor paid any Massachusetts sales or use tax before, casually selling or transferring a motor vehicle or trailer to a:
>
>*Parent
*Spouse
*Child, or
*Sibling
Is exempt from the tax. A vehicle owned jointly by a married couple may be treated as owned by either.

There are a lot of rules at play here, including registering a car from another state which you have owned less than six months and the fact that no sales tax was paid on it in MA or another state. That's a lot of balls flying around, in addition to the business name.

I’ve never thought about this, but do strip clubs require special licenses in order to open? Like is this shit grandfathered in?

IMO save and use the transit system. But don't go too far because it can be a real trek from some areas.

It's irritating but if you refuse to pay I can imagine the broker being annoyed and pointing out to the landlord that your lease is considerably below market (which it probably is at this point). My rent is going up $50 per month so If I was offered the chance for a one off payment of $50 instead I'd bite their hand off.

This, feels like it should be illegal. I know its not. But at best this feels, scummy and gross.

Lol chill bro. It’s Reddit. It’s the exact place to share stupid thoughts.

there’s no actual requirement to always share your thoughts…. sometimes those words should stay inside your head, you know?

Exactly this. I pay $1,500 per month for a spacious 1-bed, 1-bath in Quincy right on the border of Dorchester.
Not technically Boston, but I realize that my probability of finding another well-lit, 1-bed, 1-bath apartment with a big kitchen in this area for $1,500 is just absolutely not going to happen. Landlord hasn't raised my rent since I moved in a few years ago, so I consider myself just super, super lucky.

It can be abused by making more food than what is expected to be used.
A notorious one back in the day was to make/bake an extra pizza right before close so that employees can just take it home as they close
